ABSTRACT:
A dual-beam receptacle socket contact is provided for conductively engaging a pin contact to couple the pin contact to an electrical circuit. The two pin-engaging beams of the socket contact are oriented to lie in mutually orthogonal planes. The beams are configured and arranged to maintain electrical contact with a pin contact inserted therein when subjected to shock or vibration. A flat pattern is provided for producing a plurality of socket contacts that are arranged in nested relation so that the center-to-center spacing of the socket contacts match the center-to-center spacing of the contact-receiving openings formed in an electrical contact housing. Preloading tabs are provided in a second embodiment of the invention.
