ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly is provided having a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector. The second electrical connector has a housing with a connector receiving area and spring contacts. The first electrical connector has contacts located in the receiving area and contacting the spring contacts with suitable frictional forces and shapes at their areas of contact to provide substantially no resistance, by the contacts, to movement of the first connector out of the receiving area. This is accomplished due to geometric spring action force vector being substantially equal and opposite to the frictional force vector in the direction of movement of the first connector out of the receiving area. However, the frictional forces and spring action forces are additive during insertion of the first connector into the receiving area to thereby wipe the areas of contact between the contacts of the two connectors.
