Abstract: The forked contact pin socket consists of two flat, parallel spring arms curved inwards towards one another at their outer ends to grip the inserted round or flat contact pin. The vertical arms are joined together along the lower part of their vertical edges by a yoke whose plane lies at right angles to the arms planes. The flat yoke is extended vertically downwards at its lower edge into a vertical, flat mounting tag which locates in the base of the socket insulating housing. The tag is flexible and allows non-aligned contact pins to be accepted by the contact arms. The tag spring constant is 1/6 of that of the two contact arms.
