Patent

CA 2158253

A contact element (10) for an electrical connector or an integrated circuit which is usecd with a hold-down mechanism has a base portion (18), a spring portion (20) having at least partially helical spring elements, and a tapered contact portion (16) which mates in a biased manner with the conductive rim (22) of a hole (26). The contact element is particularly useful for surface mount applications. The spring portion is preferably arranged with a partially helical spring configuration so that compression of the spring also effects a torsional rotation of the contact portion. The contact element can be fabricated from: a flat sheet with punching, rolling, and/or forming operations, thin walled drawn parts, or modular parts.
