An electrical connection system, such as a Bayonet Niel-Concelman (BNC) connection system, includes two connector assemblies and enables electrical connections between the two connector assemblies to be established and maintained. The two connector assemblies respectively include a first connector and a second connector. One of the connector assemblies includes a contact pin, and the other connector assembly includes a mechanical support having a tapered recess. The first connector interlocks with the second connector, and the contact pin is received by the recess and engages the mechanical support, when the first and second connectors are interlocked. Because the recess is tapered, the contact pin is guided toward the center of the recess as the contact pin is pressed against the surface of the mechanical support exposed by the recess, making it easier to establish and maintain an electrical connection with the contact pin.
