Abstract

For a connector for high currents, in order to reduce the volume resistance it is proposed to provide the front end of the contact pin with spring tongues and to form the rear end of the contact socket as a rigid, essentially inflexible socket. Front spring tongues of the contact socket act on the solid part of the contact pin, and the spring tongues of the contact pin act against the wall of the rear end of the contact socket.
