Electrical connector with a constant radius of curvature beam.

摘要

A female contact for an electrical connector in which the contact comprises a resilient, conductive beam (24A, B) with a curve of constant radius. One end of the beam bears against a flat wall section (26A or 26B) of a bore into which a male contact pin (28) is inserted to make contact. The strip curves away from the wall, and as the pin is inserted it flattens the strip against the wall. <IMAGE>
