ABSTRACT:
A socket contact (4) comprises a unitary contact body (12) including a tubular body portion (20) having a wall (22) which defines an interior space (24) and an open end (25) which permits insertion of a lead (11) of a mating contact into the interior space. The unitary contact body further includes a spring finger (30) extending into the interior space for engagement with the lead of the mating contact, and a shield (40) partially covering the open end and arranged to guide the lead into the interior space. The shield (40) prevents stubbing of the spring finger (30) during insertion of the lead (11).
