Abstract
A contact system includes at least one opposed pair of contacts. Each of the contacts has a resilient rear leg, a guide section extending from the rear leg, and a contact interface extending from the guide section. The contact interface includes a furcated surface adapted to establish multiple points of contact with a mating contact interface. The furcated surface includes a first contact beam and a second contact beam separated by a slot. At least one contoured footing extends from one of the first and second contact beams to establish multiple contact points with a mating interface.
