ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical contact is disclosed formed from a sheet metal stock base which has been skived and inlaid with at least one strip of metal having different electrical and/or mechanical characteristics from the base metal to thereby form an improved electrical contact. The inlaid strips can include a strip of noble metal to improve the electrical characteristics of the contact at the point of engagement with a mating contact. At least one solder repelling strip can be inlaid so that the resulting contact may be dip or wave soldered without the danger of the solder being wicked into the contact. A further inlaid strip can include a solder material so that the contact can be soldered by a reflow operation.
