Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing and a contact held by the housing. The contact has a mating interface configured for mating with a mating contact of a mating connector. The contact has a planar side extending to a tip. An interface contact is separately provided from, and coupled to, the mating interface of the contact. The interface contact has a base coupled to the side of the contact proximate to the tip. The interface contact has a spring beam extending from the base away from the side of the contact. The spring beam is configured to engage the mating contact of the mating connector to make an electrical connection between the contact and the mating contact.
