Abstract
An electrical connector consists of a cylindrical body having an internal one piece insulator in which a plurality of elongate male electrical contacts are secured. These contacts are adapted to engage female electrical contacts in another similar mating body in a tight fitting manner when the two bodies are secured together. The electrical contacts are cylindrical and provided with two spaced flange portions of larger diameter than the remainder of the contact, and the contacts fit into parallel cylindrical bores in the insulator, each bore having inwardly projecting protuberances which enter the space between the flange portions on the contacts. These protuberances are shaped to permit normal insertion of the contacts from one end of the insulator, and removal from the same end.
