Abstract
An interconnection system having a first connector with a plurality of contacts; and a second connector with a plurality of contacts. The contacts of the first connector engage the contacts on the second connector, creating unbalanced resultant forces an the contacts of the second connector. The unbalanced resultant forces caused by a set of the contacts of the second connector generally offset the unbalanced forces caused by another set of contacts on the second connector. Thus, the contacts balance the forces created during mating, providing a generally balanced interconnection system.
