Tuning fork electrical contact with prongs having non-rectangular shape
An electrical contact (12) includes a pair of prongs (16a, 16b) that extend from a base (22) of the electrical contact (12) spaced apart by a gap (26) disposed therebetween. The gap (26) is configured to receive a mating electrical contact that mechanically and electrically communicates with the pai...

Summary: | An electrical contact (12) includes a pair of prongs (16a, 16b) that extend from a base (22) of the electrical contact (12) spaced apart by a gap (26) disposed therebetween. The gap (26) is configured to receive a mating electrical contact that mechanically and electrically communicates with the pair of prongs (16a, 16b). A plane (40) defined along respective exterior surfaces of the pair of prongs (16a, 16b) is such that a portion of one prong (16a) of the pair of prongs (16a, 16b) is bisected by the plane (40). A method (100) of making an electrical contact (12) includes a step of stamping out a piece from a sheet of electrically-conducting material (102) and another step of folding one or more portions of the piece to at least produce the pair of prongs (16a, 16b) of the electrical contact (12) spaced apart by the gap (26) (104). An electrical assembly (10) includes a printed circuit board (14) and at least one electrical contact (12) that contains the pair of prongs (16a, 16b). |
