Female electrical socket configuration suitable for use with a PCB

A female electrical socket for receiving a male electrical pin and for connection to a printed circuit board, the female electrical socket comprising a body defining an enclosure, the body comprising a first end and a second end each having an opening, wherein the opening of the first end or second end is configured to receive the male electrical pin to form a connection with the female electrical socket, wherein the body has a central longitudinal axis, the female electrical socket further comprising three contact fingers on the body, wherein a first end of each of the contact fingers is attached to the body and a second end of each of the contact fingers is radially directed inwards relative to the first end towards the central longitudinal axis whereby in use the three contact fingers provide a retention force to engage with the male electrical pin, further comprising at least one wing extending outwardly from the first end of the body, the wing for connecting the female electrical socket to the printed circuit board and also having a flat surface extending outwardly and sufficiently sized for being picked and retained either by a suction or mechanical gripper, wherein the body comprises a side wall between the first end and second end of the body and an entirety of the side wall is substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the female electrical socket.
