Abstract
A contact comprises a plate, a positioning section connected to the plate via a first flexible neck and adapted to be mounted by an external solder ball, a contacting section located above and connected to the positioning section via a second flexible neck. The first flexible neck is deformable to absorb a tension originated from the plate. The second flexible neck is deformable to force the contacting section to abut against an external electrical device when the external electrical device urges the contacting section to electrically connect to the solder ball via the contact.
