ABSTRACT:
The invention disclosed herein relates to a contact element having upwardly extending, spaced apart arms capable of being twisted about a horizontal axis to provide torsional forces and converging fingers extending laterally from the arms to receive between the free ends a pin or lead from an electronic package or device to establish electrical contact therebetween. The free ends of the fingers, being spaced apart a distance less than the pin diameter or lead thickness, exert compressive forces against the pin or lead which, along with the torsional forces being exerted by the arms, provides an enhanced electrical contact.
