Abstract: A contact (10) for an electrical connector mounted on a PCB and engaging with a cylindrical plug pin (100) includes a base portion (11) having a number of barbs (112), a tail portion (13) and a contacting portion (12). The contacting portion extends from the base portion, and has a resilient portion (121) thereof. The resilient portion forms a curved portion (125) along a transversal direction thereof. The curved portion partially embrace the plug pin along an arc-shaped line. Therefore, the contact has a large engaging area, and the retention force between the contact and the plug pin is increased.
