Electrical contact used in an electrical socket

摘要

An electrical contact ( 1 ) used in a socket includes a base portion ( 11 ), a solder portion ( 12 ) bending from a bottom edge of the base portion, a vertical head ( 13 ) and a spring arm ( 14 ) extending from a top edge of the base portion and a contact portion ( 15 ) formed at a topmost end of the spring arm. The head and the spring arm extending upwardly from two opposite sides of the top edge of the base portion. A relatively large spacing ( 16 ) is defined between the shoulder and the spring arm. The spring arm includes a body section ( 140 ) connecting with the base portion and a stretching section ( 142 ) adjacent the contact portion. This configuration makes the contact be more easily manufactured, thereby manufacturing costs is reduced.
