Abstract
A hyperboloid contact socket includes a tubular body of metal or other suitable conductive material. The tubular body includes first and second ends. The first end includes a lip defining an aperture entrance for receiving a mating pin terminal. At the second end of the tubular body, a spline is crimped or otherwise affixed to the confronting end of the tubular body. The spline has an integral termination extending therefrom. The tubular body contains a plurality of conductive wires affixed at their respective ends to respective inner surfaces at or near the outer and inner ends of the body and disposed in an angular disposition to form the shape of a single sheet hyperboloid. Permanent and conductive attachment of the wires to the tubular body and the spline is provided through deformation of the body by rolling, crimping, swaging or other suitable means.
