Abstract:
An electrical contact comprising:a terminating section that terminates a flat conductive member formed by disposing a foil-form conductive part on at least one side of a flat insulating body;an elastic contact part that elastically contacts said conductive member and has a spring arm that has an embossment with a rounded surface that presses against the conductive member; anda base that has a substantially circular hole that faces the embossment of the spring arm, and that has a rim about said hole that is contacted in a substantially circumferential state of contact by the conductive part of the conductive member pressed by the embossment,said spring arm extending to a free end and being moveable between a first position and a second position such that, when in the first position, insertion of said conductive member into the electrical contact is permitted, and when in the second position said conductive member is pressed by the embossment, thereby forcing the conductive part against said rim of said circular hole, with anchoring sections of said spring arm free end becoming locked with latching arms of the base.
