ABSTRACT:
An active electrical pin contact comprises a hollow contact having a longitudinal gap extending from one end to the other and having a pin contact section. A spring member is disposed and secured in the hollow contact and it includes a rear section, a bowed section, a short front section, and a long flexing section intermediate the rear section and the bowed section. The rear section and the short front section extend along inside surfaces of the hollow contact and the bowed section is disposed in the longitudinal gap including a contact-engaging section extending outwardly beyond an outside surface of the hollow pin contact section. The hollow contact also includes a relief section associated with the long flexing section of the spring member such that the spring member may flex within the relief section when an inward force is exerted on the contact-engaging section when the active pin contact is interconnected with a socket contact.
