ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided and includes a housing that has a mating face configured to engage a mating connector. The electrical connector also includes a plurality of conductors that extend through the housing and a plurality of socket members that project from the mating face. Each socket member is electrically coupled to one of the conductors and includes a shaft that is configured to be inserted into a cavity of the mating connector. The shaft forms a passage that is configured to receive an associated mating contact held within the cavity for establishing an electrical connection.
