ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact (10) including a body portion (12) having first and second connecting sections (30, 40) at opposite ends thereof, and at least three legs (32 34, 36) extending from a common end (18) of the body portion (12) altogether comprising one of the first and second connecting sections (30, 40) of the contact (10). The first (32) of the at least three legs is spaced from a second leg (34) by a selected first distance (d.sub.1) and the second leg (34) is spaced from the third leg (36) by a selected second distance (d.sub.2). The first distance (d.sub.1) is different from the second distance (d.sub.2). The at least three legs (32, 34, 36) are adapted to be received in respective through-holes (52, 54, 56) of a circuit board (50) in a polarized arrangement.
