Abstract

A socket (10) has a collet (46) housed in a bore (48) for receiving an end (58) of a pin (8). The collet (46) has legs (60) projecting into the bore, in a direction away from the bore opening (48), to grip the pin end (58) when it is inserted in the bore (48). The collet bears on a shoulder (58) in the bore and is held in place by rounding the end (56) of the socket. The arrangement requires a relatively low insertion and extraction force. The socket (10) need not be of springy material and precious metal coatings may be applied more sparingly to the contacting parts. <IMAGE>
