An electrical contact includes a main body and a compliant pin extending from the main body. The compliant pin includes a through-hole. The compliant pin is configured to be compressed. The electrical contact also includes a first leg and a second leg that each extend from the main body. The compliant pin is between the first leg and the second leg. The compliant pin, the first leg, and the second leg extend from the main body in a same direction. The electrical contact further includes a first blade and a second blade that each extend from the main body. A slot is formed between the first blade and the second blade, and a width of the slot is larger at a first position adjacent a distal end of the first and second blades than at a second position adjacent a proximal end of the first and second blades.

Electrical connector

An electrochemical double layer capacitor (DLC) is configured for mounting on a PCB. A first connector component is configured at each individual terminal lead of the DLC capacitor. A second connector component is mounted on the PCB and includes a number of parallel connector elements at a footprint location for electrical mating contact with the DLC leads. The connector configuration produces a minimal increase in the ESR of the capacitor when mounted on the PCB.
