A low profile, surface-mounted receptacle includes a housing having a cavity defined at least in part by the interior surfaces of the sidewalls thereof. The interior surface of at least one sidewall has a groove, one wall of the groove being defined by an inclined portion. An electrical spring contact is received within the groove, the contact being of the curved, dual cantilever type having a first leg, a curved transition portion and a second leg. The contact being disposed to define a clearance space between itself and the inclined. The legs and curved portion responding to the introduction of a male plug by cantilever toward the inclined sidewall and undergoing a reduction in the radius of curvature, thereby displacing to an extent sufficient to exert a predetermined normal force on the plug, despite dimensional variations in the housing due to manufacture.
