An electrical contact includes a main body having a contact arm (,) extending from a lower portion thereof, a tail (,) extending from an upper portion thereof, and a retainer (,) projecting from the main body between the contact arm and the tail. A cutout (,) is defined in a surface of the tail opposite a surface designed to engages with a PCB. A guiding slot (,) is defined in the main body of the contact between the tail and the contact arm opposite the retainer. When the tail is soldered to the PCB, any excess solder will flow along the contact. The cutout provides an obstruction and the guiding slot provides a surface area for the solder to solidify on the contact without covering a portion of the contact arm and hindering signal transmission.
