ABSTRACT:
A micro-miniature electrical contact comprises a first contact portion having spaced cantilever contact leaves with distal ends adapted to mutually engage, together with outwardly bowed control longitudinal portions. When received in a mating socket the leaves are resiliently urged inwardly to effect desired receptacle engagement and electrical connection.
In a preferred embodiment, the contact is formed by deep drawing a seamless, integral, generally cylindrical member in which a contact portion with leaves integrally joined at their distal ends is integrally formed with a receptacle portion adapted to engage an electrical conductor. Because of their construction, the provided contacts are adapted for repeated use without loss of resiliency.
