Abstract From the Canadian patent

A solderless electrical contact is shown having first and second ends for connection to conductive elements joined by a central section having a C-shaped cross section with opposing arms tapering to a reduced end thickness for press-fit mounting into a printed circuit board aperture. The tapering arms of the C-shaped cross section provide uniformly stressed beams that allow the radii of each arm to better conform to tolerance variations of the aperture without creating undue stresses therein.
