Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a housing; and at least one electrical contact supported by the housing, the electrical contact defining a contact body extending out from the housing, a mounting end disposed upstream of the contact body, a mating end disposed downstream of the contact body, and a bent portion connected between the mounting end and the mating end, wherein the mating end extends inward toward the housing such that the mating end is spaced from the contact body, the mating end defines a mating surface having a proximal convex region, a concave region disposed downstream of the proximal convex region, and a distal convex region disposed downstream of the concave region, the proximal convex region defines a downsloped surface that extends toward the contact body along a direction toward the concave region, and the convex region defines a peak disposed between a pair of downsloped surfaces that extend toward the contact body in a direction outward from the peak.
