Abstract
An electrically conductive contact and a method of forming the same. A precursor configuration is formed in a metal work piece. The precursor configuration has a precursor retention portion that includes a pair of precursor beams separated by a precursor slot. Forces are applied to deform the precursor configuration and thereby form a fastening section of the contact. The fastening section has a retention portion that includes a pair of finished beams separated by a finished slot. The retention portion has a different configuration than the precursor configuration.
