ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact includes a contacting means for electrically connecting with a member inserted to engagement therewith and a support means for supporting the contacting means in position for such engagement. The support means includes at least one cantilever arm having an effective length that varies during deformation thereof in response to a member inserted to engagement with the contacting means. Moreover, the contact is positioned in a cell-like containment portion of a relatively fixed housing having a wall against which the cantilever-like portion may be supported at various locations along the length thereof. The combination may be employed as an electrical breadboard to facilitate making electrical connections.
