Abstract
An electrical plug and socket connector has in the socket part a contact consisting of a contact pin identical to that of the plug part, combined with a cage which fits loosely in the socket housing, embraces the contact pin and incorporates a contact spring, thus isolating contact pressures within the contact assembly so that the housing is not stressed. The contact pin is retained by a snap-in retainer. The plug part has an identical pin and retaining means.
