Abstract
An electrical contact assembly comprises a wire barrel onto which an electrical conductor is connected along with a receptacle contact member covered by a stamped and formed hood member. A C-shaped section of the receptacle is frictionally secured in a bore of the wire barrel with the hood member surrounding the receptacle and being crimped onto the wire barrel. The hood has a beveled lead-in entrance to facilitate insertion of a pin contact member into electrical connection with the receptacle contact member at a substantially low insertion force.
