ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact (100) formed as a monolithic element includes a cantilevered member (74), first and second contact portions (68 and 70), a C-shaped spring member (80), and a base (72). Three pivotal zones (79,84, and 102) are provided so that a relatively large deflection of the first contact portion (68) is transformed into a small deflection at the point where the spring action is effective so that a relatively flat force/deflection characteristic is attained. A kinematic model and five embodiments of the contact are disclosed, as well as a method of formation thereof.
