ABSTRACT:
A slotted beam contact element (13) for an electrical connector is constructed by forming an opening in a metallic strip (31) and then, if necessary, reshaping at least one portion of the strip which defines the opening. Then a bifurcated beam (14) is formed in the strip with the opening being disposed between at least portions of inner edge surfaces of the furcations (15--15) of the beam after which the furcations are moved toward each other. Forces are applied to the furcations at locations (38--38) along a major surface (35) of the strip adjacent to outer edge surfaces (37--37) of the furcations to cause the inner edge surfaces to define a slot having a predetermined configuration.
