ABSTRACT:
A receptacle contact 10 is made by stamping a blank from a metal sheet and forming it to a final configuration. The receptacle contact 10 has a box-like tab receiving cavity section 11 intended for receiving a mating tab contact. The cavity section 11 has a spring-loaded contacting arm 23 which makes electric contact with the mating tab contact, and a protective wall 24 which covers the spring-loaded contacting arm 23 almost completely, except for a contacting section 26. This makes it possible to prevent a spring section 25 of the spring-loaded contacting arm 23 from interference with tab contacts which are not inserted straight or with other objects inserted in the tab receiving cavity section, thus preventing damage to the contacting arm 23.
