Each arm portion extends from a top of a respective sidewall, and is deflectable from a rest position to a deflected position by a corresponding horizontally actuatable mating pin ( ). Each arm portion includes a top contact portion ( ), and a guiding portion ( ) extending obliquely from an end of the contact portion. The guiding portion has an inner convex side ( ) and a bottom edge ( ). The contact portion also has an inner convex side ( ). As each arm portion is deflected from the rest position to the deflected position, the pin contacts a contact section of the arm portion located above the bottom edge.
