ABSTRACT:
A socket contact is disclosed for miniature electrical connectors of the plug and receptacle type. The socket contact (10) comprises a contact sleeve (12) with two contact fingers (66) each extending as a cantilever beam from its root in the sleeve. A reenforcing ridge (68) in each finger extends from a point spaced from the free end of the contact finger to a point past the root of the finger to increase the stiffness of the finger. The radius of each finger and the location of the ridge thereon is such that the ridge is not engaged by a mating contact pin upon insertion into the socket.
