Abstract
An electrical connector for mating with a conductive plate having a plate mounting edge, and first and second surfaces extending from the plate mounting edge is provided. The connector includes a contact having a contact mounting edge and a lead interface edge opposite the contact mounting edge. A first contact beam and a second contact beam extend from the contact mounting edge, and the first contact beam is configured to engage the first surface of the plate when passed over the plate mounting edge. The second contact beam is configured to engage the second surface of the plate when passed over the plate mounting edge, and the first and second contact beams are laterally offset from one another along the contact mounting edge. At least one lead contact extends from the lead interface edge, and the lead contact is configured to mate with a mating connector.
