ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact (110) formed as a monolithic element having three beam portions (114, 116, 124) and inherent springiness. The contact (110) is so configured that a relatively large deflection at a contact point (130) is transformed into a small deflection at the point (108) where the spring action is effective so that a relatively flat force/deflection characteristic is attained. A kinematic model and three embodiments of the contact are disclosed, as well as a method of formation thereof.
