Abstract
A contact for a contactor assembly is provided which is short enough for use in high frequency applications and which has a pivotable end and a pre-curved center section which deflects in combination with the pivoting of the pivotable end to provide minimal forces on contact pads when a force is applied between the pad and the contactor assembly. The pre-curved center section has a large radius and is arranged such that the pivotable end and the contacting end of the contact are offset from one another within the plane including the radius of the center section so that the deflection direction is predetermined and deflection forces are reduced.
