    Patent number: 11509087
    Abstract: An electrical connector having a barrel or hollow cylindrical sleeve into which is inserted a cylindrical interface member adapted to accept a coil spring member on one end thereof. The interface member on its other end acts upon a cylindrical sphere or ball captured with the other end of the sleeve member. The ball is movable axially and rotationally within the sleeve to make electrical and mechanical contact with an external surface which may be either movable with respect to the ball or not perpendicular to the ball. The connector is formed to direct current to pass primarily through the sleeve and to bypass the spring.
