Abstract
A connector assembly is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a base extending along a Y-axis and a channel extending through the base along an X-axis. A contact is disposed at least partially within the channel, the contact defining a securement portion and at least one additional portion. The securement portion and the additional portion are defined at different points along the contact as measured along the X-axis, and the securement portion secures to the base at the channel. When the securement portion is at least partially disposed within the channel and secured to the base at the channel, the additional portion is disposed lower than the securement portion as measured along the Z-axis.
