摘要： An electrical connector is disclosed. The connector is made up of an electrical connector comprising: a first (female) housing and a second (male) housing, the first and second housings being capable of mating by being brought together along an axis, such that when the housings are mated the second housing lies at least partially within the first housing. Mounted in the first housing is a first conductor. The first conductor has a fixed end mounted in the housing and a free end and is biased in a first direction substantially transverse to the axis. A second conductor is mounted in the second housing at a position in relation to the axis such that when the first and second housings are mated the first conductor is adjacent the second conductor. A camming means is mounted in the second housing for interacting with the first conductor on mating of the housings. The camming means is made up of a ramp a ramp having a base, a camming surface sloping from a minimum height at the base and a maximum height, and a downward step at the maximum height. The second conductor is mounted adjacent the downward step. When the first and second housings are brought together to mate along the axis, the first conductor comes into contact with the ramp and the camming surface pushes the first conductor against the bias of the first conductor. When the first and second housings are fully mated, the bias of the first conductor causes the free end of the first conductor to move in the first direction and thus into contact with the second conductor.
