ABSTRACT:
An improved barrel-shaped IDC contact comprises a cylindrical body section having a longitudinal IDC slot formed by opposed edges. Extending longitudinally alongside the edges are cutouts forming a resilient beam section therebetween in order to increase the resiliency of the IDC slot. The latter reduces degradation of the contact by stress relaxation. The cutouts also provide better access of plating fluids to the interior of the barrel thereby improving penetration thereof and allowing the plating line to run faster. The design is therefore more cost-effective.
