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 1):
An electrical socket, comprising\n a cylindrical body defining a longitudinal axis and having opposite first and second end rings, a plurality of spaced contact beams extending between the first and second end rings, 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 of the contact beams comprising a middle section between first and second end sections, the first and second end sections being attached to the first and second end rings, respectively, and the middle section of each contact beam being longer and wider than each of the first and second end sections, and wherein the middle section of each contact beam has a contour that defines a fully radiused, smooth inner contact area without sharp edges such that each middle section has a generally C-shaped cross-section and extends further into the inner receiving area than the first and second end sections and such that the fully radiused, smooth inner contact areas are positioned for smooth contact with the mating pin when inserted into the inner receiving area.
