Abstract

An electrical connection system includes a first electrical connector assembly and a second electrical connector assembly. The first electrical connector assembly includes a first housing and a first terminal assembly supported by the first housing. The second electrical connector assembly includes a second housing, a second terminal assembly supported by the second housing, at least a portion of the second terminal assembly being movable relative to the second housing between an extended position and a retracted position, and a biasing member that biases the second terminal assembly toward the extended position. The first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly contact each other to establish an electrical connection upon arranging the first electrical connector assembly and the second electrical connector assembly near one another.
