Abstract
A contact element 1 comprises a fixing section 2 sufficiently strong to withstand insertion into a slit of an insulative housing 10, a transmission section 3 having contact points 3A and 3B projecting from the slit 12, and a flexible section 4 for linking the transmission section 3 to the fixing section 2. The contact points 3A and 3B are positioned so as to produce a bending moment about a linking portion 5 when they are brought into spring contact with mating connectors.
