ABSTRACT:
A connection system includes a plug connector mounted to a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a mating receptacle connector mounted to a docking station for establishing electrical connection between the PDA and the docking connector. The plug connector includes a first housing defining U-shaped slots for receiving and retaining U-shaped first contacts. Each first contact has a central section exposed to a front mating face of the first housing and first and second limbs each forming transversely extending projections for interferentially engaging with the slot thereby fixing the first contact in position. The receptacle connector includes a second housing defining L-shaped slots for receiving and retaining L-shaped second contacts. Each second contact has an arcuate engaging portion resiliently supported and biased to partially project beyond a front mating face of the second housing through an opening defined in the second housing. The second housing defines a receiving space in front of the mating face thereof for accommodating the plug connector whereby the central section of each first contact engages with and drives the arcuate engaging portion of the corresponding second contact back into the L-shaped slot to form a firm engagement therebetween.
