IMPROVED ELECTRICAL CONTACTS

A device of and method for an improved electrical contact is disclosed. The electrical contact includes a plurality of axially-aligned electrically conductive wires (108), each wire being in electrical contact with at least one other wire at a peripheral surface thereof; an electrically conductive inner sleeve (302) disposed around the plurality of wires and having at least one slot (400) extending axially from a leading end (402) that is adapted to allow the inner sleeve to expand radially; an outer shell (300) disposed around the inner sleeve for protecting at least a leading end of the plurality of wires and the inner sleeve; and an attaching portion (110) disposed at a terminal end of the plurality of wires, the inner sleeve, and the outer shell, the attaching portion being in electrical contact with at least the plurality of wires and the inner sleeve and being adapted to place at least the plurality of wires and the inner sleeve in electrical contact with a first electronic device.
