A press fit contact for through hole mounting has a longitudinal axis and a contact portion along the axis for mounting with an associated electrical component to make electrical contact therewith. A leg portion is configured and dimensioned to be inserted through a mounting plated through hole of a support member. The leg portion includes an interference element along at least a portion thereof dimensioned to be receivable within the plated through hole to establish a press-fit or interference-fit and mechanical and electrical contact with the plating on the mounting hole. An intermediate portion is provided between and integrally formed with the contact and leg portions, the portions all being generally aligned along the longitudinal axis. A pressure-bearing, in each instance element, in the form of one or more holes and with or without associated blade tabs, is formed on the intermediate portion within the perimeter or inside the lateral edges defined by the intermediate portion. A pressure member element in the form of a molded plastic member is arranged on the intermediate portion to encapsulate the pressure-bearing, in each instance element or elements to transmit forces applied thereto acting along the longitudinal axis in the direction from the contact portion towards the leg portion. In this manner, insertion forces applied to the pressure-applying member are transmitting to the intermediate and leg portions for facilitating insertion of the leg portion through the plated through hole by coupling the forces to the pressure bearing elements or elements.
