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.
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.
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.
Referring to
In a top view, the first retaining section 3 is oblique to the main body 10 with an obtuse angle therebetween while the second retaining section 4 is coplanar with the main body 10. A chamfer 6 is formed at each of the first retaining section 3 and the second retaining section 4. Two opposite lateral sides of the oblique section 11, 21 are not symmetrical with regard to the centerline thereof wherein the contacting section 12, 22 is located offset from the centerline of the oblique section 11, 21 toward the lateral side closer to the second retaining section 4 and opposite to the other lateral side which is closer to the first retaining section 3.
The width of the contacting section 12, 22 is around 0.06 mm while the with of the inner portion of the oblique section 11, 21 is around 0.15 mm.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various alterations and modifications can be made to the embodiments without in any way departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
