Disclosed is a substantially tubular socket contact. In one aspect, the
electrical contact has a longitudinal axis and includes a substantially tubular,
hollow body having a first end and a second end. The first end contains a bounded
aperture. The body has at least two elongated slots and at least two contact members
disposed along the longitudinal axis. At least one the contact member has a compound
curve. The electrical connector also has a solder cup disposed adjacent to the
second end of the body. The solder cup has at least one flared portion distal to
the second end of the body. The electrical connector can be made using stamping
and forming processes. In another aspect of the invention, a terminated electrical
connector is provided.
