Electrical connector having electrical contacts that engage mating contacts
Abstract:
Electrical connector including a contact array having electrical contacts. Each of the electrical contacts includes a proximal base and an elongated body that extends from the proximal base to a distal end. The elongated body has a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal base and the distal end, and a lateral axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The elongated body includes a body side that extends along the longitudinal and lateral axes and is shaped to form a wipe track. The wipe track is configured to engage a contact finger of the mating connector as the contact finger moves linearly along the longitudinal axis. The wipe track has a non-linear path such that the wipe track turns at least partially in a lateral direction as the wipe track moves toward the proximal base along the longitudinal axis.
