Abstract

An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrically conductive contact member and a second electrically conductive contact member. Both contact members have non-planar interface surfaces. The second interface surface is complimentary to the first interface surface. Magnetic field concentrators are spaced apart to concentrate a magnetic field in a zone. The magnetic field is associated with electric current carried by the electrical connector assembly. A flexible circuit carrier has openings to receive the magnetic field concentrators. The flexible circuit carrier comprises a flexible dielectric layer and a conductive traces. A magnetic field sensor is mounted on the flexible circuit carrier in the zone.
