Abstract

A female contact is provided for an electrical connector having a contact section for receiving an electrical pin of a male contact, the contact section comprising a channel having a triangular cross section. From another aspect a male electric contact for an electrical connector is provided having a contact section for cooperating with a female contact, the contact section comprising a contact pin having a triangular cross section. Each of the contacts can be formed from a single conductive sheet by a cutting and bending process thereby providing ease of manufacture and a relatively low cost contact.
