Abstract
A method of fabricating the fixing portion of an electrical contact and a portion that forms a contact terminal includes the steps of machining the side face of the fixing portion so as to define a surface of revolution, drilling a blind axial bore in the fixing portion to open out its free end, and machining the fixing portion in such a manner that in a middle part of the fixing portion, in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the fixing portion has a greater dimension in a first direction than in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and two orifices are formed to open into the axial bore and into the side face, the two orifices having a common axis extending in said second direction and intersecting the longitudinal axis.
