Abstract
An electrical contact (1) include a retention portion (11), a solder portion (12) bending from a bottom edge of the retention portion (11), a head portion (13) extending upwardly from the retention portion (11), a spring arm (14) extending from a sidewall of the head portion (12) and a contact portion (144) formed at a topmost end of the spring arm (14). The spring arm (14) includes a body section (141) connecting with the head portion (13) and a stretching section (143) adjacent the contact portion (144), an extending portion (142) connecting the body portion (141) and the stretching portion (143). The stretching section (143) defines an elongate channel (1430), which makes the contact (1) have a preferred flexibility and an improved capability.
