ABSTRACT:
An electrical socket contact comprising a tubular spring member of conductive material having a single longitudinally extending slot from the front to the rear of the member. The side of the tubular member opposite to the slot is joined by a relatively nondeformable connecting section to a rigid body which impart sufficient stiffness to such side so that, upon insertion of a pin contact into the bore in the tubular member having a diameter greater than the bore, the wall of the tubular member will flex at two side regions between the slot and the opposite side of the tubular member. The flexing of the wall of the contact at two side regions thereof provides a highly efficient spring action which is capable of producing high insertion and removal forces.
