ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a receptacle (100) having structures for reducing arcing when a plug (300) is drawn out of the receptacle (100). The receptacle (100) includes a number of electrical contacts (20), each of the electrical contacts (20) being slidably mating with a corresponding conductive terminal (34) of the plug (300) and therefore defining a mating area on the electrical contact (20). Each of the electrical contacts (20) includes a conductive area (222) to abut the corresponding terminal when the plug (300) are fully mated in the receptacle (100) and a less conductive area (224) where the conductive terminal (34) slides thereto and then leave the electrical contact (20) therefrom when the plug (300) is being drawn out of the receptacle (100).
