Abstract
A hyperboloid contact socket is provided which comprises a tubular body of conductive material and preferably having at one end a lip defining an entrance aperture for receiving a mating pin terminal and having on the opposite end a termination of an intended configuration for attachment to a circuit board or other device or item. The tubular body contains a plurality of conductive wires conductively and permanently affixed at their respective ends torespective inner surfaces at or near the outer and inner ends of the body and disposed in an angular disposition to the longitudinal axis to form the shape of a single sheet hyperboloid. In one aspect of the invention a mandrel employed to orient the wires within the tubular body during fabrication of the contact socket remains attached to the tubular body after assembly of the contact wires and serves as a connecting pin to which various terminations can be attached.
