ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electrical connector which utilizes a combination of tulip and butt contacts. The female portion of the connector is formed by a longitudinally extending contact having a butt contact surface at one end thereof. A plurality of spring loaded, tulip segments are arranged circumferentially around and radially spaced from the longitudinal axis of the contact. The tulip segments and the butt contact surface together define a receiving socket for the male contact. The male plug contact has a sloping annular surface which translates the inwardly directed radial force of the spring-loaded tulip segments into an axial force that provides a high pressure face or "butt" contact between the female contact butt surface and male plug contact. In the preferred embodiment, the female contact butt surface has a conical configuration and the male plug contact has a truncated conical configuration. This arrangment produces a ring contact electrical connection between the two portions of the connector. 1.
