1. A conductive contact adapted for electrically connecting with a chip module and a printed circuit board, comprising:
a base portion;
a top head portion formed above the base portion adapted for connecting with a belt;
at least one spring arm extending sidewardly from the base portion and forming at least one contacting section adapted for elastically contacting with the chip module; and
a bottom soldering portion extending from at least one of the base portion and the spring arm adapted for being soldered to the printed circuit board; wherein
the head portion defines a cutout recessed from a top edge thereof to reduce connecting length between the head portion and the belt and reduce siphonic effect when plating the spring arm, and the cutout extends downwardly beyond a bottom edge of the contact section.
