(specification, page 1). Representative claims 1 and 12 read as
follows:
1. An electrical spring contact for use with varied
electrical components, said spring contact comprising:
a body section, said body section being attachable at one
end to a circuit board;
two arms attached to opposite sides of the body section,
said two arms defining a separation therebetween, said arms each
having an elbow section extending each arm towards the opposite
arm; and
a center section attached to the body section between the
two arms whereby an electrical component lead can be held
approximately in an orthogonal orientation to the body section
and between the center section and the two arms, said electrical
component lead being in electrical contact with the center
section and the two arms.
12. An electrical contact assembly, having at least one
electrical component, said electrical component having at least
one electrical lead, said contact assembly comprising:
a housing into which the electrical component fits and is
held; and
at least one electrical spring contact held within the
housing, said electrical spring contact comprising,
a body section, said body section being attachable at one
end to a circuit board;
two arms attached to opposite sides of the body section,
said two arms defining a separation therebetween, said arms each
having an elbow section extending each arm towards the opposite
arm; and
a center section attached to the body section between the
two arms whereby an electrical component lead can be held
approximately in an orthogonal orientation to the body section
and between the center section and the two arms, said electrical
component lead being in electrical contact with the center
section and the two arms.
