An electrical contact ( 1 ) includes a retention portion ( 10 ), a pair of spring arms ( 12,13 ) extending from two opposite sides of the retention portion, a pair of contact portions ( 14,15 ) formed at respective free ends of the spring arms and first and second cantilevers ( 16,17 ) extending from the free ends of the spring arms generally toward each other. The first and second cantilevers are spaced apart at some dimension when the contact is in an uncompressed state. First and second mating sections ( 160,170 ) formed at respective free ends of the first and second cantilevers, each having a sectional width larger than that of each of the free ends of the cantilevers, when the contact is compressed, the cantilevers close toward each other, the mating sections thereof engaging each other. Thus a shortened electrical path is established between the contact portions.
