One-piece parallel multi-finger contact

A one piece parallel multi-finger contact configured for mounting electronic devices to a printed circuit board, the contact comprising:

• a barrel having a first diameter;
• a plurality of parallel beams extending distally from the barrel, the plurality of beams disposed about a second diameter which is smaller than the first diameter;
• and
• a point of contact distal to the plurality of parallel beams defined by a respective dimple on each of the plurality of parallel beams, wherein, the point of contact is radially inward of both the barrel and the plurality of parallel beams.

A method of manufacturing a one piece parallel multi-finger contact, the method consisting of:

• a) stamping a piece of metal to create a multi-finger contact;
• b) forming a dimple on a distal end each of the fingers of the multi-finger contact;
• c) heat treating the multi-finger contact;
• and
• d) plating the contact.
