Abstract (en)

In some examples, it is described a method of manufacturing a female electrical contact, the method comprising:attaching two extremities of each conductive wire of a plurality of conductive wires to a sheet of conductive material having a longitudinal axis, wherein attaching the two extremities of each wire is performed such that the plurality of wires are slanted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sheet; andfolding the sheet of conductive material to form a conductive tubular socket having a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axis of the tubular socket being substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the sheet, wherein folding the sheet is performed such that, after the sheet of conductive material is folded, the plurality of wires define a hyperboloid receiving space for a male electrical contact.
