US Patent 11139600 High performance contact element

A contact element for providing high current capabilities between an electrical contact and a mating contact. The contact element has multiple first resilient contact arms and multiple second resilient contact arms. The first resilient contact arms extend from a first contact strip to a second contact strip. The second resilient contact arms extend from the second contact strip and are formed to extend toward the first contact strip. The second resilient contact arms are offset from the first resilient contact arms, wherein free ends of the second resilient contact arms positioned proximate the first contact strip. The first resilient contact arms and the second resilient contact arms provide contact sections which allow for the passage of a high amperage current with low resistance and low temperature.
