Abstract
Disclosed is a female socket contact of the type having a female electrical contact section adapted to mate with a corresponding male contact and a resilient contact plate provided in the female electrical contact section. Thin-walled sections are respectively formed in opposing side walls constituting the female electrical contact section so as to provide on the inner surface of the side walls recesses for inner-space enlargement, and the end edges of the resilient contact plate are respectively positioned in the recesses for inner-space enlargement, thereby providing a large resilient contact pressure. The resilient contact plate can be formed separately from or integrally with the socket contact.
