Abstract:
1. A contact for electrically connecting an electronic component comprising: a base portion comprising an upper end, a lower end opposite to the upper end, and two sides opposite to each other; a first spring arm extending obliquely and upwardly from the upper end of the base portion, the first spring arm comprising a contacting portion for contacting the electronic component; and second spring arm extending obliquely and upwardly from the lower end of the base portion and towards the first spring arm, a supporting portion defined on a distal end of the second spring arm far from the lower end of the base portion; wherein the second spring arm locates under the first spring arm, and the supporting portion is capable of sliding along the first spring arm to support the first spring arm when the contacting portion is pressed down by the electronic component; wherein the first spring arm comprises an arc-shaped section protruding towards the second spring arm, the supporting portion of the second spring arm contacting the arc-shaped section when the first spring arm is not pressed down; wherein the first spring arm comprises a linear section extending obliquely and upwardly from the arc-shaped section, the supporting portion of the second spring arm slides from the arc-shaped section to the linear section when the first spring arm is pressed down by the electronic component; wherein the contact further comprises a retaining portion extending from one side of the base portion and defining an obtuse angle with the base portion; wherein the contact further comprises a soldering portion extending downwardly from the retaining portion for soldering.
