A contact (10) for a ZIF PGA socket (20) includes a horizontal single-beam contact portion (12) and an elongated mounting portion (11) depending from the contact portion. The mounting portion includes a fixing portion (16) for fixing to the socket, a leg (19) depending from the fixing portion for extending through the socket and electrically communicating with a circuit board, and a neck (14) integrally connecting the contact portion and the fixing portion. The neck is substantially narrower than the fixing portion and the contact portion, thus allowing the contact portion to twist about a central vertical axis of the contact and to be displaced relative to the fixing portion. The contact portion can thereby rotatably contact and resiliently press against a corresponding pin (30) of a mating PGA device.
