Electrical connectors and contacts for engaging printed circuit boards
are disclosed. One preferred contact has a first contact leg, a second contact
leg arranged in a substantially mirror relationship with the first contact leg,
and a connecting member extending between and being integral with the first contact
leg and the second contact leg. Each of the contact legs includes a mating portion
for insertion into a circuit board through hole. The mating portions have an elastically
deformable beam for imparting a normal force onto a wall of a circuit board through hole.
