A contact for mounting to a substrate includes: an intermediate portion; an upper contacting portion; a lower securing portion for being fitted into a hole of the substrate, the securing portion having a body and a pair of resilient arms; and a leg extending downward from the lower securing portion. Each resilient arm has a first section connected to the body and a second section angled relative to the first section. The pair of resilient arms form four abutting points, for contacting the hole, including a first abutting point defined at an intersection of the body and the first section of one resilient arm, a second abutting point defined at an intersection of the body and the first section of the other resilient arm, a third and a fourth abutting point defined at a free end of the second section of the two resilient arms respectively.
