  • Patent number: 8202132
    Abstract: A pair of confronting and spaced contact surfaces of a predetermined conductive material are electrically interconnected by a spring-type contact that is between the surfaces. The contact has an anchored end secured to one of the surfaces, an opposite free end, and a plurality of blades unitary with and extending between the ends and each having a bowed section engaging a respective contact surface. These bowed sections of the contact extend in opposite directions toward the contact surfaces and form contact points engageable with the respective contact surfaces. A coating on each of the contact points is of a material matched to the conductive material of the contact surfaces.
