A low inductance contact comprises a coil spring and a conductively coupled pin. The pin has coupling surfaces which enable the coil spring to be attached to the pin in a manner that prevents rotation of the spring's ends. The spring provides an axial pin bias to contact tips, and a torsional bias for conductive coupling between the spring and the pin. The torsional bias is generated by an axial displacement of the spring and by twisting the spring a predetermined angle prior to attachment to the pin. A torsion-induced contact between the pin and the spring enables a conductive path through the pin, while bypassing the coils of the spring. The torsional bias further enables a positive attachment of the spring to the pin. Pins can be fabricated from a drawn profiled stock by stamping or machining. Essential pin coupling features can be prefabricated in a drawn profiled stock.
