ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having a number of electrical contact in which a contact portion of each contact extends diagonally forward to engage a received, mating contact. Each electrical contact has a first leg anchored in an insulative housing of the connector and a substantially free second leg flush with a wall of a cavity formed in the connector. The contact portion of the electrical contact has an angled end consisting of a narrow neck and a large sector, the large sector gradually enlarging toward a free end thereof. The substantially free second leg of the electrical contact is spring biased against the wall of the cavity only upon insertion of a mating contact into the cavity to achieve a smooth insertion of the mating contact into the cavity.
