An electrical contact includes a mating portion and a crimp portion connected by a transition region. The mating portion is configured to receive a mating external contact pin. The mating portion has a top wall and a bottom wall joined by opposing side walls. The top, bottom and side walls form a contact box open at one end. The contact box includes a contact beam that extends through the contact box, a front flap portion and a front aperture for insertion of the mating contact, and a back aperture adjacent to the transition region. The front flap portion protrudes partially into the front aperture forward of the contact beam to prevent a free end of the contact beam from receiving a direct impingement force when mating the electrical contact with the second electrical contact.
