ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact for use in an electrical connector, includes a contact body made of metal and having a contact head, a contact tail, and an anti-wicking region disposed between the contact head and the contact tail arranged to prevent wicking of a fusible material past the anti-wicking region in a direction toward the contact head. The anti-wicking region is defined by one of a laser-ablated portion, a laser marking material, a UV marking material, and an ink that is permanently disposed on the contact body.
