Abstract
A one-piece hooded socket contact is disclosed which is formed from a sheet metal blank having spaced trapezoidal-shaped fingers that extend from a forward edge of the blank. The fingers are bent rearwardly and the blank is formed into a cylinder forming the hood of the contact. The fingers extend inwardly toward the center axis of the hood to form the spring beams of the contact. The front portions of the fingers form a lead-in chamfer at the front of the hood.
