ABSTRACT:
A contact for circuit board socket includes a planar conductor having an elongated base with oppositely spaced ends. A fulcrum leg is formed on one end of the base and has a cut-out space extending from outermost edge to the inside middle portion of the base so as to make the fulcrum leg more flexible. A contact leg is formed on the other end of the base and has a cut-out space extending lengthwise thereof between first and second parallel and spaced apart planar beam sections. The end of the base sections remote from the base are joined and the cut-out space extends to the middle portion of the base but does not communicate with that of the fulcrum leg. The conductor furthermore provides a stop means at the side of the contact leg, which cooperates with a similar stop means at the outer portion of the fulcrum leg to form a pair of stop means. The pair of stop means function to protect the contact from excess deformation, and to provide a holding portion to cooperate with a specific tool when the contact is inserted into a socket by the tool.
