Abstract
An electrical contact (100) of an audio jack connector includes a main portion (10), a soldering portion (30) bending from a lateral edge of the main portion, an elastic portion (20) extending curvedly from a distal end of the main portion to be located above the main portion. The elastic portion has a flexible beam (21), a first arm (22) extending upwardly from the flexible beam and a second arm (23) curvedly bending from the first arm. The first arm and is consistent with a direction along which an audio plug connector is inserted. The second arm is adverse to a direction along which the audio plug connector is withdrawn.
