Abstract
A female connector (30) comprises an elongated housing (32) and two separate blades (34, 36). The housing (32) includes one power region (40) and one signal region (50) spaced from each other by a space (90) therebetween. The power region (40) includes a plurality of first passageways (42) for receiving a corresponding number of first contact (60) therein. The signal region (50) includes a plurality of second passageways (52) for receiving a corresponding number of second contacts (70) therein. The opening (41) of the passageway (42) has an expanded curved contour (48) on two sides for allowance of lateral deviation of an inserted male contact, and the first contacts (60) includes a pair of arms (66) arranged to face each other in a vertical direction for being adapted to receive the deviated inserted male contact of a complementary connector (14).
