| Summary: | A connector assembly includes an insulative housing defining a number of receiving passages, and a number of conductive contacts housed in corresponding receiving passages. Each conductive contact includes a first contacting finger and a second contacting finger extending substantially along a mating direction and toward each other and respectively exposed in corresponding receiving passage of the insulative housing for electrically engaging with the same contact of a complementary connector. The first contacting finger and the second contacting finger each have an inclined branch and a contacting point. The projections of the contacting points of the first and second contacting fingers along a lateral direction perpendicular to the mating direction form a first gap, and the smallest vertical distance between the contacting point of the first contacting finger and the branch of the second contacting finger forms a second gap. The second gap is always larger than the first gap. |
