Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a plug having an elongate prong releasably received in a hollow receptacle and retained for electrical contact by a retainer. An improvement of that electrical contact is achieved by tensioning the prong in the receptacle against the retainer. A spring may be tensioned for that purpose in the receptacle between that receptacle and the prong.
