Claim 0:
1. An electrical connector system comprising:
an upper member comprising an upper member body holding upper connections comprising at least one of a plurality of studs and a plurality of jacks; and
a lower member comprising a lower member body holding lower connections comprising at least one of the plurality of studs and the plurality of jacks that are opposite and correspond with the upper connections;
the upper connections and the lower connections having axes that are angularly misaligned:
in an unplugged state,
during insertion of the plurality of studs into the plurality of jacks, and
in a fully plugged together state, wherein an amount of angular misalignment progressively decreases from the unplugged state to the fully plugged together state during insertion of the plurality of studs into the plurality of jacks,

the angular misalignment creating deformation of at least one of the upper member and the lower member when the upper connections contact the lower connections during insertion of the plurality of studs into the plurality of jacks, and
the deformation creating a resultant force between the upper connections and the lower connections.
