Abstract
An electrical connector comprising: a conductive housing that contains within an interior of the housing a conductive inner barrel; a low insertion force connector positioned within the inner barrel and having a bore concentrically aligned with a bore of the inner barrel, the housing further comprising: one or more conductive springs disposed circumferentially about the inner barrel and in contact engagement with an interior recessed surface of the inner barrel and the interior of the housing so as to be in electrical contact therewith, wherein the bore of the inner barrel is adapted to receive a conductive pin, the inner barrel being movable both axially and radially via said spring in response to insertion of the conductive pin through the bore and into the low insertion force connector to accommodate off axis orientation of the conductive pin into the connector.
