ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact (1) for electrically interconnecting two electrical components (3, 4) includes an inverted “U”-shaped retention portion (11), a substantially “U”-shaped extending portion extending (12) from the retention portion. The extending portion defines first and second mating portions (122, 121) respectively at uppermost and lowermost sections thereof, for engaging with the electrical components. The extending portion forms an engaging portion (125) to mate with the retention portion. Thus two parallel electrical paths are formed between the first and second mating portions when the contact electrically mates with the two electrical components. As a result, impedance of the contact is decreased and good resilient characteristics of the contact are attained.
