ABSTRACT:
A socket connector contact (10) comprises a resilient portion (16) having a helical body (16a) with an axis. A mating portion (16b) extends upwardly from the body, for electrically engaging a mating conductive member (32). When the contact engages the conductive member, the mating portion elastically deflects downwardly at an angle relative to the axis of the body so as to wipe oxidization films that have grown on the mating portion and the conductive member. Furthermore, the body doest not deflect relative to the axis thereof. Rather, the body is compressed along the axis thereof to supply sufficient normal contact force, thereby assuring engagement between the mating portion and the conductive member. Thus, the mating portion and the resilient portion of the contact are used to optimize wiping characteristics and contact force of the contact, respectively.
