Abstract
A male electrical contact comprises a substantially U-shape body incorporating two side members and a center member. There is a bar at one end and the other end is adapted for connecting the body to an electrical conductor. The contact is manufactured by bending a blank formed from a material that is a good electrical conductor. The material comprises two strips of different thickness. The bar and the adjoining part of the body are formed from the thicker of these strips.
