ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes two assemblies which are adapted to mate. Each assembly has a number of contacts mounted thereon. The respective contacts (which may be pins and resilient tongues, or hermaphroditic contacts) include separate bearing surfaces and electrical contacting portions. The bearing surfaces of the contacts are subject to the abrasive action when the connector assemblies are being coupled or uncoupled, while the electrical contacting portions are protected from abrasion and contact one another only when the two assemblies are substantially coupled together.
