Abstract
A method of fabricating an electrical contact formed at least in part of a precious metal which defines a contact surface on the electrical contact. In this method, an initial discrete deformation of the precious metal extends a projection of the precious metal to a first preselected height beyond the contact surface. Thereafter a further discrete deformation of at least the precious metal projection forms it into a preselected configuration and also alters the extension of the precious metal projection to another preselected height beyond the contact surface different than the first preselected height.
