Abstract
A contact includes an arcuately-shaped member having opposite end portions which are joined by an intermediate U-shaped portion. The end portions are slotted to form bifurcations which include contact-engaging surfaces. A contact element includes elongated first and second portions which are joined by an intermediate portion. A lanced-out tab is formed in, and forms an acute angle with, the first portion with the tab opening toward the intermediate portion.
