Relay adapter socket for small-size multicontact plug

Abstract

A relay adapter socket for small-size multicontact plugs is disclosed, which comprises a pair of jack sections symmetrically provided in front and rear portions of a cylindrical body and each including a cylindrical ground terminal, an insulating contact holder surrounded by the ground terminal and a plurality of female contacts insertedly held in female contact accommodation bores of the contact holder, the female contacts of each of the jack sections are connected to corresponding ones of the other. Each pair of corresponding female contacts of the jack sections have their stems united to each other by a uniting member made of a metal sheet forming the pair female contacts so that the pair female contacts and uniting members altogether constitute a crankshaft-like female contact union. A common cylindrical ground terminal is used for the pair jack sections, and it consists of two semi-cylindrical halves fitted on the contact holders such that they are closed edge to edge into a cylindrical form.
