Contact for slanted SIMM socket

An electrical SIMM connector for use with a module (100) wherein said module (100) can be inserted into the connector in a first initial position for zero insertion force and later be rotated to a second fixed position for sufficient normal force thereof, comprising:

• an elongated socket (80) having a slot (86) for receiving said module (100) therein;
• and
• a plurality of contacts (30) positioned on two sides of said slot (86) for engagement with a plurality of corresponding pads 104, 108) positioned on two opposite surfaces (106, 109) of said module (100);
• each contact (30) including a pair of high and low beams (36, 38) each having a contact apex portion (46, 54) for defining a distance (S) therebetween for allowing zero insertion force when the module (100) is inserted into the socket (80) in the first position, said pair of contact apex portions (46, 54) respectively positioned on two opposite pads (104, 108) on two opposite surfaces (106, 109) of the module (100) at different levels with regard to the module (100) in the second position wherein one (54) is positioned adjacent a top edge of the corresponding pad (108), and the other (46) is positioned adjacent a bottom edge of another corresponding pad (104), so that a rotation moment is formed thereof for tendency of moving the module (100) from the second position back to the first position, the high beam (36) including segments (40, 44) which generate an integrated component having the corresponding contact apex portion (46) displaced somewhat in a direction (Y) toward a bottom edge of the module (100) when the module (100) is in the second position and the beam (36) is deflected.
