A female electrical contact including at least one axial elongate flexible spring offset from the axis (A) of the contact and elastically deformable in a transverse direction. The flexible spring (6) comprises: a tail (5) engaged in a support (2, 4); a contact portion (7); an intermediate portion (8) situated between the tail portion (5) and the front contact portion (7), and having longitudinal curvature of large radius without any folding so as to enable it to bend elastically in a transverse direction; and a portion (10) of reduced second moment of area situated between the intermediate portion and the front portion, thereby making the spring suitable for distributing bending stresses over the entire length of the intermediate portion and facilitating progressive and continuous elastic bending thereof; the said portions (5), (7), and (8) having predetermined transverse curvature imparting desired stiffness thereto; an abutment surface (2a) being situated at the rear of the spring to keep its deformation within its elastic limits.
