Abstract
A socket contact (1) for use with a connector (40) includes a main body (10) and a tail (12) integrally extending from the rear portion thereof and perpendicular to the main body (10). An engagement section (14) is positioned on the front portion of the main body (10), and a retention section (16) is positioned on the rear portion of the main body (10). The engagement section (16) includes a thinner U-shaped member (20) at the front end, a thicker U-shaped member (22) at the rear end, and two curved beams (23, 24) integrally intermediating therebetween, respectively, oppositely facing to each other. The two U-shaped members (20, 22) horizontally and transversely lie in the corresponding cavity (44) in the connector (40) in the same direction, and therefore the two opposite curved beams (23, 24) can sandwich an inserted male pin contact therebetween in a vertical direction.
