ABSTRACT:
An electrically conductive contact beam for use in an electrical interconnect component. The contact beam includes a stabilizing section for securing the contact beam within a support substrate, and a contact section, connected to the stabilizing section, for establishing contact between the contact beam and an electrically conductive contact from another electrical interconnect component. The contact section includes a merge radius section connecting the contact section to the stabilizing section, a flexible section connected to the merge radius section and having an elongated curvature, a contact area, disposed at an end of the curvature opposite the merge radius section, for contacting the conductive contact from the other electrical interconnect component, and a lead-in section, connected to the contact area, for initiating deflection of the contact section upon contact of the lead-in section with a portion of the other electrical interconnect component.
