Abstract
Abstract An integral pin receptacle comprises a seamed barrel member having a necked-down end and an extension extending inwardly from the necked-down end which is formed into a spring contact member enclosed within the barrel member and provided with spring members extending substantially parallel to an insertion axis from adjacent an open end of the barrel member and inwardly along the barrel member. The pin receptacles are carried in spaced relationship in a carrier member for connection with conductor members of an electrical component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
An electrical connector comprising a dielectric carrier member having parallel channels extending along one surface and wherein another channel is provided in said one surface between said first-mentioned channels, at least one side of said channels having inwardly directed projections overlying bottom surfaces of said channels, said carrier member having holes extending through the bottom surfaces of channels and spaced therealong, pin receptacle means having pin sections disposed in frictional engagement with walls of said holes and extending outwardly beyond another surface of said carrier member, receptacle sections secured within said pin sections and having an entrance thereto adjacent a mouth of said pin sections, and ear means at said mouths of said pin sections which extend toward said channel sides and are located underneath said projections so that said projections maintain said pin receptacle means in position in said holes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
