A ball plunger-style lateral connector assembly for electrical connections, comprising an electrically conductive connector body with an electrically conductive pin positioned in an aperture in a closed end of the body. A first end portion of the pin member extends at least partially into the interior area of the connector body. An electrically conductive connector plate is adjacent to the closed end of the connector body and engages the first end portion of the pin member and provides an electrical connection therebetween. An insulator sleeve may be disposed in the interior area of the connector body and adjacent to the sidewall of the connector body. An electrically conductive biasing member is disposed in the interior area of the connector body. The biasing member has a first end portion in engagement with the connector plate, and wherein the insulator sleeve is disposed between the biasing member and the connector body. An electrically conductive ball track is positioned within the interior area of the connector body and is in engagement with a second end portion of the biasing member. An electrically conductive ball is disposed in the open end portion of the connector body and is seated in the concave seating portion of the ball track. The ball is configured to roll within ball track during use of the lateral connector.
