Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9821784A1] An electrical contact in which a latch member protective section protects a flexible latch member and prevents reverse insertion of the electrical contact into a connector housing, and that is equipped with an anti-overstress member that prevents overstress in the flexible latch member. The electrical contact (1) is equipped with a latching section (20) that has a flexible latch member (25) that latches the contact to a connector housing. The latching section is equipped with a latch member protective section (21) comprising outside wall portion (21a), that is raised upward from a side wall (22), and whose upper end protrudes upward beyond the free end of the flexible latch member (25), and an inside wall portion (21b), that is folded downward from an upper end of the outside wall portion (21a), and an anti-overstress member (24), that is bent toward another side wall (23) from the inside wall portion (21b), so that the anti-overstress member (24) can be engaged by the flexible latch member (25).
