Abstract
A connector of the plug and socket type comprises a housing (3) having a chamber (4) into which extend, one or more conductive pins (5). A second housing (8) is adapted to be received in the chamber (4). When the housing (8) is fully inserted in the chamber (4) the pins (5) pass through a first aperture (24) and a second aperture (25). Between these apertures, the pins are deformed by a projection (18) and retained thereby. The projection (18) forms part of a contact element (15) which is provided with tines (17) engaging the conductors of an inserted cable (12).
