ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for communicating signals between a vehicle chassis and a matable vehicle body includes a first housing having a first contact mounted to one of the chassis and the body. A second housing is mounted to the other of the chassis or the body and is matable with the first housing upon mating of the chassis and the body. The second housing has a second contact that is operatively engageable with the first contact for communicating the signals. The first contact is insertable into the second housing after substantial mating of the first and second housings with an absence of insertion force upon the first contact. A method is provided for communicating signals between a vehicle chassis having a first housing and a matable vehicle body having a second housing matable with the first housing.
