ABSTRACT:
A press-fit contact is disclosed for insertion into a plated-through hole in a printed circuit board. The press-fit contact is rotationally symmetric (manufactured on a lathe). In order to secure a uniform contact pressure for the whole contact region, the press-in portion of the contact is formed in the shape of a convex barrel and includes an axially extending cylindrical cavity. The barrel-shaped walls are provided with longitudinal slots extending parallel to the axis of the contact. The slots do not extend up to the lower end of the contact defining resilient beams having their ends joined by a rim formed at the tip of the contact.
