Abstract
A hyperboloid electrical socket contact has a tubular ferrule with several oblique slots extend along its length. Resilient contact wires extend along the slots so that they project inwardly into the bore through the ferrule midway along their length to form a contact region for an inserted male pin. The ends of the wires are bent into locating notches in the ferrule where they are welded.
