An electrical contact for a multipole electrical connector, includes a contact section (56a, 57a) having a C-shaped portion with a contact point at a peak thereof; an intermediate section (56d, 57d) extending from an end of the contact section; a press-fit section (56b, 57b) extending from an end of the intermediate section; and the intermediate section having a thickness which is gradually increased toward the press-fit section, thereby bending uniformly the intermediate section when a lateral force is applied. The intermediate section has a C-shaped base portion to further reduce the spring constant. The length of an intermediate section is made different from those of adjacent intermediate sections so as to offset the contact points alternately, thereby minimizing the plugging force.
