Abstract
A compressible electrical contact, manufactured from a tube, includes a first contact end, a second contact end opposing the first contact end, and a medial portion disposed between the first contact end and the second contact end. The medial portion includes a plurality of divaricated cut sections based on at least one divaricating pattern cut into the tube. The at least one divaricating pattern preferably includes an upper tapered section and a lower tapered section such that a plurality of tapered slots are formed after the tube is cut and when the compressible electrical contact is substantially compressed.
