Abstract
An electrical contact device having a housing with a square or rectangular hole formed within first and second crossing channels that extends laterally from the hole. A conductive first contact element fits into the hole, while a second contact element fits onto the top opening of the first contact element. The primary and secondary contact elements have flange protrusions that overlap. In addition, the second contact element has a tail with an oblique surface facing the top of a compliant uniform rod and the proximate primary or secondary protrusion of the first contact element. A compliant rod is positioned between the first contact element's primary and secondary protrusions, such that when the first contact element is positioned over a fixed surface and the second contact element is pushed downward when an inward force is applied, the second contact element's external contact surface slides laterally.
