Abstract
The connector assembly includes a body extending along a length with a longitudinal height defined by a first surface and an opposing second surface. At least one terminal projects through the body. The terminal includes a blade extending from the first surface for electrically connecting with a mating connector. The terminal also includes a leg extending from the second surface. A tab has a convex surface and is formed at a distal end of the leg without any apertures formed therethrough. The convex surface is adapted for electrically connecting with a mounting surface of an electronic component upon receipt of a predetermined signal.
