Abstract
A female contact having a shell that encloses a collet that has an opening in a first end of the collet and that has a second end that is configured so that, when a male pin is inserted through the first end of the collet, it pushes on the second end of the collet either directly or indirectly through some mechanism such as a spring. This female contact has a small diameter that makes it particularly suitable for certain applications and in some embodiments extends outward from the shell to facilitate inserting a male pin into the collet.
