Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is a pin and socket connector having a high resistance to tensile or pull-out forces. The pin includes three separate spring beams which are joined together to form an expandable insertion member. The socket includes a receptacle with means therein to expand the insertion member outwardly to achieve good electrical contact. Cooperating locking means on the pin and socket prevent separation of the two.
