Abstract

To provide for reliable connection of electrical terminal contact elements (5, 5', 5") within a socket body (2) and remove stresses such as tension, pressure, or torsion applied by a connecting cable (9), the contact terminal elements (5) are formed with a plate-like projection, extending essentially parallel to the contact elements, and secured in grooves or slots (12) formed in the inner walls of the body of the socket, or between projecting ribs (21) extending from the contact terminal chamber walls (7).
