Abstract
A contact assembly has a contact comprising two wire loops in an overlapping relationship, with a leg of each loop being interposed between the legs of the other loop. The prong forms the shank of a terminal pin, joined at an angle to a segment of the metal strip, which forms a tab portion of the pin. The contact is joined at one end of each loop leg to the tab portion, with the closed ends of the loops extending away from the tab/shank juncture. The closed ends of the loops are thus resiliently cantilevered from the pins to form a resilient, multi-wire contact.
