Abstract
A product and an electrical connector assembly includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes a plurality of inner walls spaced from each other to define outer boundaries of respective openings. The first component also includes a first electrical interface. The second component includes a plurality of retention members each having an outer surface and a projection extending from the outer surface of each of the retention members. The outer surface of the retention members is configured to elastically deform along the respective inner walls when inserted into the respective openings such that part of the outer surface of the retention members remains in contact with the respective inner walls when the second component is secured to the first component. The second component also includes a second electrical interface that engages the first electrical interface when the second component is secured to the first component.
