Abstract A connector assembly comprises a male connector with pin terminals, and a female connector with receptacle terminals matable therewith. The male terminal comprises a separator protrusion adjacent the contact engageable with separating extensions of contact arms of the female terminal. During coupling, the contact arms are biased apart by engagement with the separator protrusion thereby preventing rubbing of the contact surfaces during initial coupling. The latter reduces wear of the contact surfaces and also reduces mating forces.
