A connector mounted to a printed circuit board permits an inserted plug to displace from an inserted position to a displaced position responsive to an impact force exerted on the inserted plug. The connector includes a housing comprised of one or more sidewalls, and a cavity within the housing. The cavity receives and releasably retains the inserted plug in the inserted position, while one or more contacts disposed within the cavity electrically couple the inserted plug to an electrical circuit disposed on the printed circuit board. One or more openings in the sidewalls yieldably retain the inserted plug in the inserted position, while permitting the displacement of the inserted plug through the one or more openings.
