Abstract
Miniature socket receptacles employing multiple, flexed legs for contacting an inserted male pin include means for preventing the legs from being overstressed by misalignment of the male pin causing a force transverse to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle. The means can be right angled flanges formed at the terminal portion of the legs or a constriction formed in the throat of the receptacle.
