ABSTRACT:
A compliant contact for insertion in a plated hole in a circuit board is machined from a single piece of metal with a shank at one end, which projects through the hole, and a socket at its opposite end, which can be crimped about a conductor inserted in it. Rearwardly of the shank, the contact has an entry region with two convex surfaces tapering away from one another rearwardly to a compliant region. The compliant region has two flat sides and a slot extending between the sides, which divides the region into two resilient blades, each of which has a flat, parallel outer surface. The flat outer surfaces are divided from the flat sides by turned edge portions formed as a part of a common surface of circular section.
