ABSTRACT:
A first contact beam of a receptacle contact may define an indentation and a second contact beam may define a protrusion such that the protrusion may at least partially extend into the indentation. The protrusion may extend across the center of the receptacle contacts, and therefore the normal force created by each contact beam may be exerted against the normal force created by the other contact beam. Thus, rotation of a blade contact inserted into the receptacle contact may be reduced or eliminated. The contact beams of the receptacle contact may each include a formed area placed at different locations on the receptacle contact. A blade contact may overcome the normal force and mechanical resistance of a formed area of one of the contact beams before being confronted by the normal force and mechanical resistance of the other beam's formed area.
