A connection system for electrically and mechanically connecting a DSX jack to a jack assembly, the system including a male connector with a plurality of elongated conductors electrically connected to the jack or the jack assembly, a dielectric shroud around the elongated conductors, the shroud having slits adjacent each of the elongated conductors, and a female connector with a female dielectric edge connector with an internal cavity with guides therein, a plurality of tuning fork contacts seated within the guides in the internal cavity and electrically connected to the other of the jack or the jack assembly, the tuning fork contacts including two prongs with a conductor aperture between the two prongs, the conductor aperture corresponding to the elongated conductors of the male connector, and the tuning fork contacts positioned to slidably mate with corresponding ones of the plurality of elongated conductors in the male connector. The male connector slides into the female connector and electrical contact is thereby made between the tuning fork contacts and the corresponding elongated conductors in the male connector.
