Abstract

A contact system is disclosed that comprises a metal contact disposed in a dielectric body. The dielectric body is disposed in a printed circuit board depression and the metal contact has at least one folded section that makes electrical contact with the printed circuit board. The inventive contact system is particularly useful for EMI and ESD control in peripheral cards such as PCMCIA cards.
