Abstract
A method for producing a press in contact having a press-fitting portion having a U-shaped or V-shaped groove in cross-section to be press-fitted in a cylindrical through-hole of a printed circuit board. A block element having a rectangular cross-section corresponding to the press-fitting portion of the contact is formed at its center with a concaved portion by forging. Both the ends of the forged block element are removed by punching. Thereafter, the remaining U-shaped or V-shaped press-fitting portion in cross-section is further so worked by press working that its outer periphery is formed into arcs which are concentric to the through-hole when the press-fitting portion has been press-fitted and fixed therein.
