Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) socket contact is provided for mating with an RF mating pin. The RF socket contact includes a body having a base that extends a length along a central longitudinal axis. The body has an odd number of cantilevered deflectable beams that extend lengths outward from the base along the central longitudinal axis. The beams define a socket therebetween that is configured to receive the RF mating pin therein. The beams include a mating zone within the socket where the beams mate with the RF mating pin. The body of the socket contact is configured to conduct radio waves.
