Abstract
An electrical connector assembly has a socket body and a plurality of conductors having tips exposed at one side of the socket body. A dielectric plug body is formed with a row of straight and longitudinally extending guides open at a front side of the plug body. The plug body is fittable with the socket body with the guides longitudinally aligned with the socket conductors. A plurality of plug conductors each have a rear portion generally fixed in the plug body, a straight front contact portion longitudinally shiftable in a respective one of the plug-body guides, having a tip exposed at the front side, and longitudinally displaceable in the respective guide between a front position and a rear position, and a connecting portion integrally formed with the front and rear portions, extending at least partially transversely, and elastically deformable to bias the plug-conductor tips into the front positions.
