Patent ID: 7517250

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: a first electrically conductive contact defining a first center; a second electrically conductive contact defining a second center, the second contact disposed adjacent to the first contact along a first direction; and a third electrically conductive contact defining a third center, the third contact disposed adjacent to the second contact along the first direction, wherein (i) the centers of the first, second and third contacts are aligned along the first direction such that the first, second and third centers define an imaginary centerline along the first direction, (ii) a mating end of the first contact is positioned at a first non-zero and non-180 degree acute angle relative to the imaginary centerline, a mating end of the second contact is positioned at a second non-zero and non-180 degree acute angle relative to the imaginary centerline, and (iii) the first and second angles are different.
