Abstract
A device that includes a circuit board () and a first electrical contact (). The first electrical contact can include a jacket () and a magnetic member () that slideably engages the jacket. The jacket can be soldered, fastened or clamped to the circuit board, or conductively attached to the circuit board in any other suitable manner. A first portion of the jacket can be attached to the circuit board so as to provide electrical continuity between the jacket and a conductive portion of the circuit board. The magnetic member can include a flange () and can be translationally moveable between a first position in which the flange does not engage the jacket and a second position in which the flange does engage the jacket.
