Abstract
A female electrical contact comprises at least one flexible blade extending in a longitudinal direction and elastically deformable transversely to this longitudinal direction. It includes a contact member comprising the flexible blade or blades, a rear portion attached to the flexible blade or blades and an electrically conductive contact support. The rear part of the contact member and the contact support have complementary holding members which cooperate mechanically so that rotation of the contact member in at least one direction about its rear portion offsets its longitudinal axis relative to a nominal direction without significantly deforming the flexible blade or blades.
