ABSTRACT:
A socket contact has a generally tubular base defining a longitudinal axis and beams extending from the base at spaced-apart locations around the base. The beams converge to define a pin reception zone between the beams. At least one of the beams has a tapered portion which progressively narrows as the beam extends longitudinally from the base, and a non-tapered portion having a lateral dimension which remains constant as the beam extends longitudinally. The length of the tapered portion and the degree of taper can be selected to provide desirable spring characteristics for the beam.
