Abstract
An electrical contact (30) for use with an elongated slanted SIMM socket, includes a base (32), a pair of retention arms (34, 35) respectively positioned at two opposite ends thereof, and a tail (36) extending therefrom for solderably connecting to a PC board on which the socket (80) is mounted. A pair of cantilever type contact beams (36, 38) generally extending from one corner (42) formed by one of the retention arms (34, 35) and the base (32), are composed of a high beam (36) and a low beam (38) wherein a contact apex (46) of the high beam (36) engages the corresponding pad (104) on the upper surface (106) of the module (100), and a contact apex (54) of the low beam (36) engages the corresponding pad (108) on the undersurface (109) of the module (100). The high beam (36) includes at least two segments (40, 44) whereby a substantial component of a displacement of the contact apex (46) of the high beam (36) along the upper surface (106) of the module (100) is arranged in a direction from the lower edge to the upper edge of the module (100).
