Abstract
An electrical contact comprises an electrically conductive body which is made from sheet material. The body has opposite major surfaces and a peripheral edge defined by a thickness of the sheet material. The body has first and second arms each with a contact surface arranged to engage a respective opposite side of a circuit card which is inserted between the arms. The contact surface of the first arm is defined on the peripheral edge of the body, and the contact surface of the second arm is defined on one of the major surfaces of the body.
