Female contact for an electrical connector

摘要

A resilient contact section 32 and an embossment 36 that faces this resilient contact section 32 are formed on the pin receiving section 6 of a female contact 2. The mating pin 40 is electrically connected by being inserted between the above-mentioned resilient contact section 32 and embossment 36. A lance 50 is formed as an integral part of the embossment 36 so that this lance extends to the outside of the main body of the contact 2 from the embossment 36.
