Abstract

An electrical socket having a plurality of contact elements with bowed beams on each end cooperating to form resilient passages to receive a pin. The contact elments are supported on a disc with the beams being on each side thereof. A cavity in the housing receives the disc and associated contact elements. An opening through the disc is sized so that the pin passing therethrough cannot wobble and overstress the beams.
