ABSTRACT:
Presented is a socket contact structure (31) for electrical connectors (32), and a fabricating method utilizing a half-pitch contact spacing for the electrical connectors. The socket contact structure (31) includes a terminating section (34) formed at one end of the contact. A mating section (36), with a U-shaped intermediate portion (54) and a pair of spaced cantilever arms (55,56) extending therefrom, is formed from metal strip stock at the other end of the contact (31). The mating section (36) is stamped and formed from a first strip (41) having a first free end (41a) and a second free end (41b), with the first free end (41a) bent through about 180 degrees toward the second free end (41b) in a spaced overlapping relation. The first strip (41) is also bent through about 90 degrees with respect to the second strip (42) along a bend line (43) of the adjacent portion toward the second strip (42).
