An electronic component contact which provides substantially lower insertion force while providing sufficient contact force to maintain good electrical engagement with a component lead. The contact includes a plurality of inwardly angled spring fingers which are laterally yieldable and which are of two or more different lengths. A component lead inserted into the contact initially engages the shorter spring fingers and thereafter engages the longer spring fingers, the sequential engagement of the spring fingers with the inserted lead providing substantially reduced insetion force. Once the lead is inserted into the improved contact, the normal contact forces of the fingers on the lead are sufficient to maintain good electrical engagement.
