Abstract
A method of making electrical contacts (10) for either tin or gold-plating without changing the overall dimensional shape of the contact (10) has been disclosed. The method includes the step of providing a given spring rate for a pair of cantilever beams (26) by cutting the beam (26) to a predetermined width without changing the length thereof.
