Abstract

A plurality of contact are received within the corresponding passageways of the insulative housing of an electrical connector, respectively. Each contact has juxtaposed first body and second body angled with each other via a linking section connected therebetween. A resilient spring arm extends upwardly from the first body, and includes a wide plate section adjacent to the first body, a bulged contacting section at a top thereof, and a narrow connecting section therebetween. The spring arm is asymmetric with regard to a centerline of the spring arm for avoiding interference with a standoff around a neighboring passageway in a neighboring row.
