Abstract
An electrical connector can include a connector housing including a housing body that can define an opening that is configured to receive a complementary electrically conductive component along a mating direction. The electrical connector can further include at least one contact member that is supported by the connector housing and is configured to contact the complementary electrically conductive component when the complementary electrically conductive component is received in the opening. The at least one contact member can include an arm having a proximate portion, a distal portion, and an intermediate portion between the proximal and distal portions. The intermediate portion can be spaced outward with respect to each of the proximate and distal portions, and the intermediate portion can bear against the retention rib so as to retain the at least one contact member with respect to the connector housing.
