摘要： An electrical connector includes a number of contact elements that, in the preferred embodiment, are pins. Each pin includes an electrically conductive contact surface that is configured to engage an electrically conductive surface within a mating connector to achieve an electrical connection. Each pin also includes a leading surface that is integral with the contact surface and is configured to contact the conductive surface of the mating connector during connection and disconnection with the mating connector. One advantageous feature of the invention is the provision of a detent between the leading surface and the contact surface. The detent collects surface debris from the leading surface before the debris can be swept onto said contact surface during connection. As a result, any debris that is collected in the detent will not interfere with the electrical connection between the pin and the conductive surface in the mating connector.
