Abstract
A electrical contact, which is secured in a slot of a housing used to electrically connect a printed circuit board with a chip module comprises a tail portion mounted on the printed circuit board, a contact portion with a torsion portion based on the axis of the slot of the housing at least partly extending out of the slot contacting to the chip module and a base portion connected the tail portion with the contact portion. Thus, the space between the adjacent contacts will be improved to avoid the short circuit. Furthermore, even if the contacts are secured imprecisely, there will not be apt to form a short circuit between the adjacent contacts.
