A contact element has a mating portion (20, FIG. 4B) that lies slightly above a card-engaging surface (48) to engage a terminal on a data card, with the mating portion constructed to avoid damage from small objects improperly pressed sidewardly against the mating portion. The middle (23) of the mating portion which lies above the horizontal card-engaging surface, is curved about both laterally-extending and longitudinally-extending axes, to form a dome with a convex upper surface, or a "spoon" shape.
