Abstract:
The invention includes an electrical contact capable of mating with an electrical connector. The electrical contact has an intermediate contact having a flexible connection medium, and an outer contact surrounding the intermediate contact. The electrical contact also has a first insulator surrounding the intermediate contact and the flexible connection medium. The first insulator provides electrical isolation of the intermediate contact from the outer contact. The front insulator also has a front face that protects the flexible connection medium from being distorted by an electrical connector. The outer contact surrounds the first insulator, and a center contact is surrounded by the intermediate contact. The front face may have a flange that isolates a front portion of the flexible connection medium from the mating connector.
