ABSTRACT:
A new and improved electrical socket contact has good structural integrity and a design which forestalls the possibility of having a male contact inadvertently inserted behind the spring contact. This is accomplished first through an overall design in which a spring contact section is completely surrounded by four side walls and a back wall, the walls having a generally box-like configuration. The spring section has a pair of overlying spring members, the innermost member having an overlying spring assist portion. The portion of the innermost spring portion nearest the socket opening is protected by a curved end portion of an overlying wall which also acts to protect the spring section. The socket contact of the present invention is formed from a single piece of flat material and is formed through several folding steps to achieve the final construction. The socket contact formed enables a high reliability very miniaturized contact.
