Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising:a radially resilient barrel socket having a bore with a first inner diameter extending from a first end; a stop member having a bore with a second inner diameter, the second inner diameter being at least as large as the first diameter of the bore in the barrel socket; means for spacing the stop member from the one end of the barrel socket and defining a recess between the second inner diameter of the bore in the stop member and the one end of the barrel socket, the recess having a third inner diameter greater than the second inner diameter of the bore in the stop member and the first inner diameter of the bore in the barrel socket; means for fixing the stop member and the spacing means with respect to the one end of the barrel socket; an electrically conductive member having an end pin insertable through the fixing means, the spacing means, and the stop member into the bore in the barrel socket; and at least one projection carried on the pin, the at least one projection insertable through the inner diameter of a bore formed in the fixing means into the recess defined by the spacing means, an inner edge of the bore in the fixing means and an inner edge of the bore in the spacing means resisting movement of the at least one projection on the pin axially outward from the one end of the barrel socket up to a predetermined pull-out force.
