ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a first component having a dimensional variance spring for connection to a second component where alignment is critical and dimensional variances between the components may be present. Preferably, the invention includes a male blade stabilizer having a dimensional variance spring. The stabilizer includes first and second plates separated by a plurality of slots. Edges of the first and second plates are connected together by an angular web. Each plate has a plurality of apertures formed therein, each for receiving the male blade of a terminal carried by a male connector part. The angular web acts as a spring allowing movement of the plates in a direction perpendicular to the slots to assure proper fit of the stabilizer inside the connector shroud and insertion of each male blade through an associated aperture in the stabilizer.
