ABSTRACT:
A contact (10) comprising a planar conductor having an elongated base (12) with two opposite spaced ends (14, 16). A pair of contact beams (18, 20) respectively extend from a common position spaced from a first end (14) in a distance of generally one third of the whole length of the base (12). A high beam (18) of such pair of contact beams (18, 20) generally extends upward and slightly inclined to the first end. A generally U-shaped section (22) is positioned at the top of the high beam (18) wherein such U-shaped section (22) is dimensioned to be generally a half of the vertical dimension of the whole high beam (18). A low beam (20) of such pair of contact beams (18, 20) generally extends horizontally to the second end (16) of the base (12). A generally C-shaped section (24) is backward positioned at the free end of the low beam (20) wherein such C-shaped section (24) is dimensioned to be generally a half of the horizontal dimension of the whole low beam (20). The tip (26) of the high beam (18) and the tip (28) of the low beam (20) are generally positioned at the same height of the contact (10). A high support (30) and a low support (32) respectively extend vertically from the first and the second ends (14, 16) of the base (12) of which barbs (34, 36) protrude outwardly for retaining the contact (10) within the connector (50). One mounting section (38) extends downward from the base (12) for mounting the contact (10) on a board on which the connector (50) is seated.
