ABSTRACT:
The present invention is related to an adapter or connector receptacle intended to mate with a plug. The receptacle includes a housing forming a passage for accepting a plug body therein during an insertion of the plug into the passage. An interference projection is mounted in and extends into the passage, the projection having a front side facing approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plug. When during insertion of the plug into the passage, if one of the plug electrical contacts is misaligned such that its distal end is too low, the electrical contact will impact the front side of the interference projection and be deflected upward or prevent the plug from being inserted into the receptacle to avoid damaging the receptacle contacts.
