Abstract: Electrical cable connector and method therefor employ a plurality of sockets, each socket having elongate contact members extending distally along a length of the socket, each contact member resiliently biased toward a central vertical axis of the socket. The contact members include first contact members and second contact members that have different fundamental frequencies from one another. The first contact members have a first lead engagement portion located at a first length along the socket, and the second contact members have a second lead engagement portion located at a second length along the socket. When a lead is inserted into the socket, the first and second contact members engage the connector lead at different times during the lead insertion process. This has the effect of lowering the peak insertion force required to insert the connector lead into the socket.
