Lanyard for disconnecting a connector of a cable assembly

An electrical contact comprises; an elongated electrical contact portion, a wire connecting tab, an offset portion of the contact connecting the tab to a central portion of the contact, a first bend extending across a relatively wide section of the tab, a second bend extending across a relatively narrow section of the tab and parallel to the first bend, and a slot extending beside the tab, the first bend in the tab intersects the slot and the relatively wide section prevents concentration of stress from the first bend at the intersection of the tab and a bottom edge of the slot.
