ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact which comprises a generally tubular metallic body defining an axis which is vertically elongated, having an upper generally annular portion and a lower generally annular portion spaced axially below the upper portion; elongated spring fingers extending generally in the elongation direction of the body, the fingers having anchored ends integral with one of the generally annular portions, free ends spaced from the anchored ends, and elongated mid-portions which are deflected toward the axis, whereby the fingers may frictionally grip the exterior of a terminal pin inserted axially into the body; the body having an open upper end, and a closed lower end adapted to mount the body on a panel to extend upwardly therefrom; the body upper and lower generally annular ends being interconnected so that the body and spring fingers are unitary.
