Abstract

A connector assembly includes an insertion member that includes a plurality of contact pads, and a housing that defines an opening at a first end configured to receive the insertion member. The upper inside surface and lower inside surface of the housing define a plurality of slots into which are placed electrical contacts. Each electrical contact includes a cross-member, a first and a second extension member, a resilient member, and a mating extension. The first and second extension members extend from respective ends of the cross-member and are positioned within respective slots of the housing. The resilient member extends from the cross member from a position between the first and the second extension members. A mating extension extends from the other side of the cross-member and through an opening defined in the rear wall of the housing. The resilient member is configured to make electrical contact with a contact pad of the insertion member.
