<p>A socket contact (10) is capable of being stamped from sheet material and subsequently formed. The contact has a socket portion for accepting a pin and a terminal portion (12). The socket portion has a pair of mutually facing leg members (13,14) and a bridge portion (15) joining the leg members (13,14). The bridge portion (15) is substantially U-shaped with spacing of the leg members (13,14) where they extend from the bridge portion (15) being less than the size of the pin to be accepted. The leg members (13,14) are cranked to provide a maximum spacing between the leg members (13,14) towards the ends thereof joined by the bridge portion (15) and a reduced spacing between the leg members (13,14) in the region of their free ends to provide resiliently biased contact with a pin, in use.</p> |
