Patent ID: 7541135

Claim:
A power contact comprising: a first conductive plate and a second conductive plate positioned parallel to each other, each conductive plate defining at least a first outer edge, a second outer edge, and a third outer edge, such that each edge is angularly offset from the other edges; a first curved portion extending from the first outer edge of the first conductive plate, and a second curved portion extending from the first outer edge of the second conductive plate, wherein the first curved portion of the first conductive plate and the second curved portion of the second conductive plate diverge in two opposite directions; board tails that extend in a common first direction from the second outer edge of the first conductive plate and the second outer edge of the second conductive plate; and a first contact beam that extends from the third outer edge of the first conductive plate and a second contact beam that extends from the third outer edge of the second conductive plate, the first and second contact beams extending in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the common first direction and generally perpendicular to the two opposite directions.
