Abstract
A spring-loaded electrical contact includes a conductive terminal disposed movably in a receiving space that is confined by a U-shaped base part of a conductive mounting seat. The conductive terminal is operable to move from a released state, where a first end portion of the conductive terminal is spaced apart from an intermediate plate portion of the base part, to a pressed state, where the first end portion of the conductive terminal is proximate to the intermediate plate portion of the base part and where an intermediate stop portion of the conductive terminal is clamped between two clamping pieces formed respectively on two lateral plate portions of the base part. A biasing member is disposed in the receiving space and is mounted between the intermediate stop portion and the intermediate plate portion for biasing the conductive terminal to the released state.
