A contact having a support, a first arm supported by the support and configured to contact a mating contact, and a second arm facing the first arm in a facing direction and supported by the support and configured to contact the mating contact is disclosed. A first spring and a second spring are each connected to the support and bent in the facing direction and extend along a plane substantially perpendicular to the facing direction. The first spring and the second spring elastically support the support in the facing direction and a mount is connected to the first spring and the second spring.

What is claimed is: 1. A contact, comprising: a support lying in a first plane and having an arm joint and a support plate, the arm joint and support plate distinguished from each other by a bend with the support plate extending substantially perpendicular to the arm joint; a first arm supported by the support and configured to contact a mating contact; a second arm facing the first arm in a facing direction and supported by the support and configured to contact the mating contact; a first spring and a second spring, each connected to the support and bent in the facing direction and each extending along a second plane substantially perpendicular to the facing direction, the first spring and the second spring elastically supporting the support in the facing direction, the first and second arms being bent from the arm joint of the support and the first and second springs bent from the support plate; and a mount lying in the first plane and connecting the first spring to the second spring; wherein one set of ends of the first and second springs are connected to the support while the other ends of the first and second springs are connected to the mount. 2. The contact according to claim 1, the mount further comprising: a solder leg. 3. The contact according to claim 1, wherein each of the first spring and the second spring comprise a meandering shape that lies substantially perpendicular to the facing direction. 4. The contact according to claim 1, further comprising: a tab integrally formed with the mount. 5. The contact according to claim 1, wherein the mount is configured for attachment to a circuit board. 6. The contact according to claim 1, wherein the first spring and the second spring are connected to opposing ends of the support. 7. The contact according to claim 1, at least one of the first arm and the second arm comprising: a substantially spherical contour. 8. The contact according to claim 1, where the first arm and the second arm are configured to pinch the mating contact between the first arm and the second arm. 9. The contact according to claim 1, further comprising: a tab integrally formed with the mount; wherein the tab is configured for press-fitting into a cover. 10. The contact according to claim 1, wherein each of the first spring and the second spring comprise a meandering S-shape that lies substantially perpendicular to the facing direction. 11. An electrical connector comprising a contact for connection to circuit board and a cover for protecting the contact, the contact comprising: a support lying in a first plane and having an arm joint and a support plate, the arm joint and support plate distinguished from each other by a bend with the support plate extending substantially perpendicular to the arm joint; a first arm supported by the support and configured to contact a mating contact; a second arm facing the first arm in a facing direction and supported by the support and configured to contact the mating contact; a first spring and a second spring, each connected to the support and bent in the facing direction and each extending along a second plane substantially perpendicular to the facing direction, the first spring and the second spring elastically supporting the support in the facing direction; and a mount lying in the first plane and connecting the first spring to the second spring; wherein one set of ends of the first and second springs are connected to the support while the other ends of the first and second springs are connected to the mount, the first and second arms being bent from the arm joint of the support and the first and second springs bent from the support plate. 12. The connector according to claim 11, wherein the mount joins the first spring and the second spring and further comprises a solder leg configured for insertion through a hole in the circuit board. 13. The connector according to claim 11, wherein each of the first spring and the second spring comprise a meandering shape that lies substantially perpendicular to the facing direction. 14. The connector according to claim 11, further comprising: a solder leg integrally formed with the mount, the solder leg being configured for attachment to an electrically conductive portion of the circuit board. 15. The connector according to claim 11, wherein the cover comprises a window associated with the contact. 16. The connector according to claim 15, wherein the window is configured to allow passage of the mating contact therethrough. 17. The connector according to claim 11, at least one of the first arm and the second arm comprising: a substantially spherical contour that contacts the mating contact. 18. The connector according to claim 11, where the first arm and the second arm are configured to pinch the mating contact between the first arm and the second arm while the mating contact is extended through a window of the cover. 19. The connector according to claim 11, wherein the contact is formed from a substantially flat contact form without bending the contact form by 180°. 20. The connector according to claim 11, wherein the first arm and the second arm extend in substantially the same direction as a tab integrally formed with the mount.
