METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ELECTRICAL CONTACT AND ELECTRICAL CONTACT

摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an electrical con­tact (10) for being mounted in an electrical connector, said electrical contact (10) comprising a connection element (12) for being connected to a wire, a head (14) for coming into contact with another electrical contact of another complementary electrical connector, said head (14) being able to slide relative to the connection element (12) along a sliding direction (X), a spring (16) connected at one end to the connection element (12) and at the other end to the head (14), for bringing back the head (14) relative to the connection element (12) along the sliding direc­tion (X) to a rest position. The method comprises the steps of cutting out of a conductive sheet a contact pattern (40) comprising a connection element part (42), a head part (44) and a spring part (46) and forming the electrical contact (10) from the contact pattern (40), the spring part (46) being obtained by cutting out from the sheet a winding strip (51) comprising at least one elastically deformable winding (51B).
