ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a contact which facilitates proper insertion into a housing of an electrical connector without deflection of the contact after configuration. The contact of the electrical connector comprises a main plate having a central flat portion and two bent sides projecting therefrom and facing each other. A mating terminal includes two clamping branches respectively extending from the bent sides of the main plate along a longitudinal axis of the main plate. A compliant pin extends from one end of the central flat portion of the main plate opposite the extending direction of the mating terminal and is substantially right angled at an intermediate portion thereof. A tail terminates from the compliant pin and defines a hole therein for engagement with a hole of a circuit board. A curved shoulder is formed near the tail for facilitating insertion of the tail into the hole of the printed circuit board. The curved shoulder fits within the housing if the connector when the contact is assembled in the housing.
