Abstract
A contact (1) includes a first contact pin (2), a second contact pin (3) and a spring (4). The first contact pin includes a mating end (26), a body (23) having a first body portion (232) and a second body portion (231), a pair of ear portions (24) and a pair of first blocking portions (22). The first body portion has a thickness greater than that of the second body portion. The second contact pin includes a pair of second blocking portions (32), and a pair of resilient beams (33) slidable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The resilient beams are confined by the ear portions. The resilient beams clasp the first body portion in the latched position. The spring is compressible between the pair of first blocking portions and the pair of second blocking portions.
