Abstract
Stamping out a dual beam contact with preload tabs from flat sheet metal stock by first blanking out beams having a 10.degree. angle with respect to the centerline. The preload tabs are separately blanked with their ends adjacent to the ends of the beams. During the subsequent forming operation the tabs are bent 45.degree. in a direction away from the beams, the ends of the beams are curled away from the tabs and the beams are bent upward at a 90.degree. angle to form a U with the centerline.
