Patent Images
1. An electrical contact, which is made of an electrically conductive plate material, comprising:
- a base portion, whose lateral side ends are press-fit into a fitting slot that is provided vertically in a housing; and
a contact portion, which extends upward from a lateral central portion of said base portion, said contact portion being elastically bendable;
wherein;
a root portion of said contact portion, which is continuous with an upper end of said base portion, is positioned lower than a line which interconnects upper ends of said lateral side ends of said base portion which meet said fitting slot.

Abstract
An electrical contact is configured such that a root portion 36a of a contact portion 36 extending from an anchoring portion 37, which is press-fit into a fitting slot 41 provided in a receptacle housing 31, is positioned below a reference line M which interconnects the upper ends of the lateral side ends of the anchoring portion 37 which meet the fitting slots 41. In this configuration, the distance L from the root portion 36a of the contact portion 36 to the point of contact C, which meets an intermatable contact 16, is made relatively long to make the resiliency of the contact portion 36 relatively small.

3. An electrical contact, which is made of an electrically conductive plate material, comprising:
-
a base portion, which extends laterally;
a lateral pair of anchoring portions, which extend upward from lateral opposite ends of said base portion; and
a contact portion, which extends upward from a lateral central portion of said base portion, said contact portion being elastically bendable;
wherein;
for mounting said electrical contact in a housing, lateral side ends of said anchoring portions are press-fit into a fitting slot which is provided vertically in said housing.
