CA 1101094

ABSTRACT The present invention relates generally to a one- piece electrical contact fabricated from a single, integral piece of sheet metal. Prior art connectors with standard contacts are not capable of withstanding severe environmental conditions while retaining good serviceability. In connectors where environmental conditions have been considered, the con- tacts of such connectors, and the grommets in which they are inserted, may be damaged during installation, impairing the quality of the seal obtained. This is particularly trouble- some with socket contacts having small resilient fingers or tines stamped from the body of the socket. The present inve- tion overcomes these deficiencies by providing an improved electrical contact which is formed from a single, integral piece of sheet metal and includes an active contact element, a terminal element and a hood. The hood covers at least the active contact element to protect the pin-engaging tines formed integrally therewith from inadvertent distortion or breakage.
