An electrical connector comprising: a housing comprising an insulating material at least partially forming a first female receptacle comprising a first receptacle opening for at least partially receiving a first male connector electrode; a first female electrode disposed at least partially within the first female receptacle, the first female electrode configured to remain fixed relative to the housing to prevent movement of the first female electrode away from a first male connector electrode when a first male connector electrode is at least partially inserted into the first female receptacle between a non-inserted and fully inserted configuration; a first resilient member retained by the first female receptacle, wherein the first resilient member comprises a first resilient contact member configured to provide an interference fit between the first female electrode and a first male connector electrode to secure the first female electrode and a first male connector electrode, when a first male connector electrode is at least partially inserted into the first female receptacle; wherein a first end of the first resilient member further comprises a first base member fixed relative to a first portion of the housing; and wherein the first resilient member is configured to provide a biasing force facilitating electrical coupling of the first female electrode with only a first male connector electrode, characterised in that the first resilient contact member deforms while a first male connector electrode is at least partially inserted into the first female receptacle without any substantial deformation of the housing. a housing comprising an insulating material at least partially forming a first female receptacle comprising a first receptacle opening for at least partially receiving a first male connector electrode; a first female electrode disposed at least partially within the first female receptacle, the first female electrode configured to remain fixed relative to the housing to prevent movement of the first female electrode away from a first male connector electrode when a first male connector electrode is at least partially inserted into the first female receptacle between a non-inserted and fully inserted configuration; a first resilient member retained by the first female receptacle, wherein the first resilient member comprises a first resilient contact member configured to provide an interference fit between the first female electrode and a first male connector electrode to secure the first female electrode and a first male connector electrode, when a first male connector electrode is at least partially inserted into the first female receptacle; wherein a first end of the first resilient member further comprises a first base member fixed relative to a first portion of the housing; and wherein the first resilient member is configured to provide a biasing force facilitating electrical coupling of the first female electrode with only a first male connector electrode, characterised in that the first resilient contact member deforms while a first male connector electrode is at least partially inserted into the first female receptacle without any substantial deformation of the housing.
