ABSTRACT:
A hermaphroditic electrical contact member has a channel section body having a floor wall extended to form a male tongue, two lateral walls and a ceiling wall. A resilient contact arm extends in the channel. The ceiling wall is formed by an extension of each of the lateral walls, each extension being bent to lie parallel to the floor wall and the two extensions being then in a common plane. At least one of the extensions is joined by a lug to a point midway along the length of the resilient contact arm. Along this lug, the resilient contact arm is bent so as to lie inside the channel.
