ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact is disclosed for use in an electrical connector to be surface mounted to a printed circuit board. The contact includes an inverted U-shaped portion defining a pair of depending legs. One of the legs has a foot portion for electrical connection to an appropriate circuit trace on the printed circuit board. A terminal portion is turned upwardly from a distal end of the other leg for termination with an appropriate mating terminal. The contact is in the form of a one-piece metal component. In the preferred embodiment, the terminal portion of the contact is in the form of a terminal pin, with the pin and the legs of the inverted U-shaped portion of the contact all being generally parallel.
