Abstract: An electrical contact for use in connecting electrical wires is disclosed. The electrical contact includes a cage-like structure, a wire connecting portion, and a flexing contact portion. The cage-like structure includes a plurality of sidewalls and is configured to receive a wire. The wire connecting contact portion includes at least two contact tines that are configured to conductively couple with a corresponding wire. The flexing contact portion includes an end wall, an elastic portion, an extension portion, and a nose portion. The flexing contact portion can store elastic energy and apply a force to a corresponding electrical component.

Abstract: An electrical contact includes a main body and a compliant pin extending from the main body. The compliant pin includes a through-hole. The compliant pin is configured to be compressed. The electrical contact also includes a first leg and a second leg that each extend from the main body. The compliant pin is between the first leg and the second leg. The compliant pin, the first leg, and the second leg extend from the main body in a same direction. The electrical contact further includes a first blade and a second blade that each extend from the main body. A slot is formed between the first blade and the second blade, and a width of the slot is larger at a first position adjacent a distal end of the first and second blades than at a second position adjacent a proximal end of the first and second blades.
