Abstract
An electrical contact (1) used in a socket includes a base portion (11), a solder portion (12) bending front a bottom edge of the base portion, a vertical head (13) and a spring ann (14) extending from a top edge of the base portion and a contact portion (15) formed at a topmost end of the spring arm. The head and the spring arm extending upwardly from two opposite sides of the top edge of the base portion. A relatively large spacing (16) is defined between the head and the spring arm. The spring arm includes a body section (140) connecting with the base portion and a stretching section (142) adjacent the contact portion. This configuration makes the contact be more easily manufactured, thereby manufacturing casts is reduced.
