Abstract
An electrical contact includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis. The body includes a mating contact portion for electrical connection with an electronic module, an intermediate portion extending from the mating contact portion, and a mounting contact portion extending from the intermediate portion for electrical connection with a circuit board. The mounting contact portion extends from the intermediate portion at a bend. The mounting contact portion extends from the bend to an end portion. The body also includes a push surface formed when a carrier strip that initially connects the electrical contact to other electrical contacts is separated from the electrical contact. The push surface is offset from the bend along the longitudinal axis in a direction away from the mating contact portion.
