ABSTRACT:
An electrical socket contact (1) includes an elongated sleeve (30) having an upper large hollow portion (32) for receiving a clip (10) therein and a lower small pin portion (34) for reception in a hole of a board on which a PGA insulative socket housing is mounted. The clip (10) comprises at the top a ring (12) from which a pair of opposite beams (16) extend downwardly. The beams (16) converge approximately in the midst for engagement with a male pin received within the socket contact (1). A bight portion (20) connectively intermediates between the distal ends of the beams (16) to serve to stabilize the beams (16) and allow the beams (16) to move as a unit. At the top, the ring (12) retains the clip within the sleeve (30) with an interference fit and at the bottom, the bight portion (20) associated with the distal ends of the beams (16) freely move in all directions to accommodate any off-center of the male pine due to angularity or position.
