ABSTRACT:
A method of making a planar fork contact initially having plural tines with respective coplanar surfaces and gold inlay material integral with such coplanar surfaces, to bring them into substantially confronting relation with each other within the plane of the contact. Other steps include setting the twist to maintain such inlay containing areas in such confronting relation, controlling such twisting and the location of the respective twists for contact uniformity, and using cut-away tabs on the tines to facilitate twisting. The invention also relates to an apparatus for making such planar fork contacts, especially by utilizing the method of the invention.
