Patent ID: 7510402

Claim:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a plug assembly with a plurality of conductive pads to a PCB comprising: an insulative housing having sidewalls arrangement defining a rectangular receiving cavity; a first and second set of spring contacts disposed in the housing each with deflectable spring arms disposed in the receiving cavity; the housing defining a pair of push fingers on two neighboring sidewalls by said receiving cavity, a first area configured to near a corner defined by the two neighboring sidewalls wherein the first set of spring contacts are receiving in the first area and oriented in a first direction; both of the sidewalls defining a second area excluding the first area, the second set of spring contacts receiving in the second area and being oriented in a second direction approximately opposing the first direction; when a plug assembly is mated into the receiving cavity, all said first set of spring contacts resulting in a first compound force extending along a first direction and all said second set of spring contacts resulting in a second compound force extending along a second direction, and the push fingers on the two neighboring sidewalls resulting in a resilient compound force; wherein the sum of the first compound force and the resilient compound force is equal/approximately equal to the second compound force.
