An interconnect detection system comprises a first connector member having a set of laterally spaced-apart contacts for communicatively engaging a corresponding set of contacts of a second connector member, at least two of the contacts of the first connector member offset a predetermined distance in a non-lateral direction away from at least two respective contacts of the second connector member. The system also comprises an indicator configured to provide an indication of contact between the at least two offset contacts of the first connector member with respective contacts of the second connector member to verify a valid interconnect between the first and second connector members.
