Abstract
A female contact (5) comprises a forward contact section (50), a middle retention section (53) and a rearward tail (54). The contact section (50) includes a front generally C-shaped ring (51) at the front end, a rear generally C-shaped ring (52) at the rear end, and three inwardly curved beams (50A, 50B, 50C) bowed to each other intermediate two rings (51, 52). The base beam (50A) is integrally aligned with the retention section (53), and the two auxiliary beam (50B, 50C) are symmetrically positioned in relation to an imaginary plane vertically extending from the base beam (50A). Each beam (50A, 50B, 50C) has expanded portions approximate the front ring (51), the rear ring (52) and the engaging region (500A, 500B, 500C).
