<p>An electrical contact (1) of the fork type has substantially parallel and coplanar tines (4, 5) and in the contacting or wiping area (17, 16) of each tine inlay material (14, 15) improves electrical connection thereof with a member inserted to engagement therewith. The noted inlay material, such as gold, palladium silver, or the like, preferably is applied only to the relatively limited area of each tine that maintains direct engagement with such inserted member. A twist (34) in each tine aligns the respective contact areas that contain such inlay material with each other in confronting relation for such wiping engagement. The contact, moreover, may be die cut or stamped, and the twist enables alignment of the respective smooth side surface of each tine in respectively confronting relation with each other, allocating the back of each tine, i.e. that portion not intended to engage such inserted member, for the burr side surface. An electrical connector, such as a cable termination or cable termination assembly, may include such contacts.</p> |
