Pressure absorbing contact and connector using the same

摘要

A pressure absorbing contact includes an engaging portion for fixing in a spaced passageway of a connector. A pressure absorbing portion perpendicularly and obliquely extends from the engaging portion. An elastic curved contacting portion extends from the pressure absorbing portion and includes a contacting surface for electrically contacting an externally inserted contact. A frictional force between the contacting surface of the pressure absorbing contact and the externally inserted contact is considerably eliminated by deformation of the pressure absorbing portion and the elastic curved contacting portion upon application of the frictional force on the contacting surface of the pressure absorbing contact.
