An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a blade (12) and a spring clip (14). The spring clip (14) has two opposing arms first portion 40 and second portion 42 which form a U-shape, a slot 72 with engagement notch 74 is provided in the spring clip 14 to enable it to be positioned around the blade 12. Blade 12 has at least one notch 24 for cooperating with engagement notch 74. Spring clip 12 may be constructed from two layers of different materials having different resilient and conductive properties is positioned around the blade (12) and includes first (40) and second (42) portions. The first and second portions (40,42) cooperate to exert a biasing force toward the blade (12). The first portion (40) cooperates with the blade (14) to define an insertion opening (44) for receiving an electrical device (120,134). Independent claims to an electrical connector system comprising at least one electrical connector assembly are present. Preferably connector assemblies 10 are offset to reduce the insertion force of an electrical device. |
