ABSTRACT:
A method for making a contact begins by providing a sheet of material. A portion of the sheet is deep drawn to form a cavity having at least one side wall, the cavity extending away from a rim formed by a non-drawn portion of the sheet. At least one spring member is defined from the at least one side wall and is bent such that at least a portion of the at least one spring member extends beyond the rim.
