Abstract
An electrical pin receiving socket (2,102) is disclosed which includes a base portion (6,106) having side arms (8,108) extending upwardly to a top wall (10) or contact arms (112). Back-up springs are positioned proximate the contact arms and cooperate with the contact arms to ensure that the contact arms will electrically engage a mating pin. The base section (6,106) also includes printed circuit board contacts (20,30,120,130), where the contacts (20,30,120,130) are reversely bent under the base section (6,106) and then vertically downwardly to form printed circuit board contacts (26,36,126,136), thereby allowing the electrical pin receiving socket to move relative to the printed circuit board.
