ABSTRACT:
An electrical one-piece double-ended receptacle contact includes a first and a second socket contact portion at opposed axial ends of the receptacle contact for receiving a first and a second respective mating pin contact. A compliant middle portion interconnects the two socket contact portions. The tube wall has an axial slot extending over its length. A first and a second circumferential slot divide the tube length. The circumferential slots are axially spaced from each other by a middle section of the tube. Each of the circumferential slots has a first circumferential end between the middle section and the associated one of the socket contact portions, and a closed second circumferential end which has a predetermined circumferential distance from the axial slot so that the remaining wall portion between the axial slot and the closed second circumferential end of the respective circumferential slot forms a web connecting the middle section to the associated one of the socket contact portions. The axial length of the middle section and the circumferential and axial extensions of the webs are dimensioned to allow three axis compliance of the contact, at least reducing relative movements between the socket contact portions and the mated pin contacts.
