Abstract
The invention relates to an electromagnetic control (EMC) contact strip. In one embodiment, the strip is mounted to an electrically conductive surface which is adapted to slide in a direction into and out of engagement with another electrically conductive surface. The strip has a base having a length, and a contact formed along the length of the base and defined by a plurality of inverted V-shaped members projecting therefrom. The inverted V-shaped members are compressible in a direction towards the base upon application of a force against the inverted V-shaped members in a direction substantially perpendicular to the length of the base.
