Abstract: A female electrical socket for receiving an electrical pin and for connection to a PCB is provided. The socket provides a body having a first end and a second end, each having an opening, wherein either opening is configured to receive a male electrical pin to form a connection with the female socket, and wherein the body has a central longitudinal axis. The socket further provides a plurality of contact fingers on the body, wherein a first end of each of the fingers is attached to the body and a second end of each of the fingers is radially directed inwards relative to the first end towards the central longitudinal axis to provide a retention force to engage with the electrical pin. At least one wing extends outwardly from the first end of the body. A corresponding method of manufacturing the socket is also provided.
