Abstract:
An electrical socket and method of making an electrical socket. The socket has a cylindrical body defining a longitudinal axis and having opposite first and second end rings, a spaced contact beams, and an inner receiving area for accepting a mating pin. The first and second end rings being rotatably offset from one another with respect to the longitudinal axis, thereby twisting the contact beams into a hyperbolic geometry. Each beam has a middle section between first and second end sections and each contact beam has a generally teardrop shape. The middle section of each contact beam has a contour that defines an inner contact area such that the middle section extends further into the inner receiving area than the first and second end sections and such that the inner contact areas are positioned for contact with the mating pin when inserted into the inner receiving area.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of making an electrical socket, comprising the steps of:\n providing a conductive blank having opposite first and second connecting portions and a plurality of contact beams extending between the first and second connecting portions, each contact beam having a middle section between first and second end sections, the first and second end sections being attached to the first and second connecting portions, respectively; contouring each of the middle sections of the contact beams of the blank to have a generally C-shaped cross-section that defines a fully radiused, smooth inner contact area; after the step of contouring the middle sections of the contact beams, rolling the blank to form a cylindrical body wherein the first and second connecting portions form opposite first and second end rings of the body; and then twisting the first and second end rings in opposite directions with respect to a longitudinal axis of the body, thereby twisting the contact beams into a hyperbolic geometry and forming an inner receiving area of the body configured to accept a mating pin with the fully radiused, smooth inner contact areas of the contact beams facing inside.
