Abstract
An electrical contact includes a primary segment having a primary outer end, and a secondary segment having a secondary outer end. An intermediate segment joins the primary and secondary segments together. The intermediate segment includes a primary segment connector engaged with the primary segment such that the intermediate segment is electrically and mechanically connected to the primary segment. The intermediate segment includes a secondary segment connector engaged with the secondary segment such that the intermediate segment is electrically and mechanically connected to the secondary segment. The electrical contact has a length defined from the primary outer end to the secondary outer end. At least one of the primary segment is selectively positionable relative to the primary segment connector of the intermediate segment or the secondary segment is selectively positionable relative to the secondary segment connector of the intermediate segment such that the length of the electrical contact is adjustable.
