BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an electrical contact, and particularly to the electrical contact having two symmetrically arranged upper and lower resilient arms for mating with an electronic package and a printed circuit board.

2. Description of Related Arts

An electrical contact is required to be use with high frequency transmission so that the configuration of the contact should be specifically configured which may be different from the traditional designs.

Therefore, it is desired to provide an electrical contact with the enlarged resilient contacting arm and a narrowed contacting section at the free end.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An electrical contact is stamped from sheet metal and includes a planar main body, a resilient upper contacting arm extending from an upper end of the main body and a resilient lower contacting arm extending from a lower end of the main body. The upper contacting arm includes an upper oblique section and an upper contacting section at a free end thereof, and the lower contacting arm includes a lower oblique section and a lower contacting section at the free end thereof. The width of the contacting arm is similar to that of the main body while the width of the contacting section is smaller than one half of that of the main body.

Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
