Abstract: A female electrical contact for an electrical connector includes a conductive socket for a male electrical contact, including an opening, a peripheral wall and a bottom; and a stamped crown including a plurality of stamped conductive beams, the plurality of beams substantially regularly located along the peripheral wall in the socket, each beam having a main direction of extension substantially from the opening to the bottom of the socket, and including a plurality of corrugations along the main direction of extension, the corrugations including summits towards inside the socket and valleys towards the peripheral wall, wherein each beam is configured to elastically deform when coming into contact with the male contact on relative displacement of the male contact towards the bottom of the socket, and to contact the male electrical contact on a plurality of the summits of the corrugations when the male electrical contact is inserted in the socket.
Abstract: A female electrical connector includes a socket (1) made of conducting material, defining an approximately cylindrical internal space (2) open at one of its ends, inside of which plural wire contacting components made of a conducting material are placed, these being intended to grip, flexibly, a male component to be inserted into the socket (1), the plural components each extending from one end of the cylindrical space (2) to the other. The wire contacting components are formed from a single wire (4).
