Abstract
The blade (12) is intended for a female contact for an electrical connector and arranged in order to extend into an elongate slot of a tubular socket of the contact by bearing against an external tube and by being engaged inside this socket and radially movable in an elastic fashion when a pin of an associated male contact is introduced into the socket. It comprises a central portion (13) bearing against the external tube, located between a tail end (7) and a contact end (9), which has a continuous longitudinal curvature of large radius and without folding so that the bearing surface. (T) of the blade against the external tube moves longitudinally when the contact end of the blade is stressed radially; two inertia-reducing zones (15, 16) capable of causing flexure of the blade and respectively located between the tail portion (7) and the bearing portion (13) and between the latter and the contact portion (9); and a predetermined transverse curvature in its contact and bearing portions so that the latter have a desired stiffness.
