This report describes a simple, quasi-static, closed-form, parameterized model that predicts the contact forces acting between axially-engaging electrical contact receptacles and a pin. This approach is useful for design studies and reduced-order mechanism modeling, where receptacle-pin insertion forces have traditionally been difficult to quantify without high-fidelity (e.g. rigid body dynamics, finite element analysis) simulations. A Matlab implementation of the model is provided and is demonstrated for three receptacle geometries. Results are compared to rigid body dynamics simulations for the first two geometries and experimental insertion force measurements for the third.
