A low profile, surface-mounted receptacle includes a housing (12) having a cavity (30) defined at least in part by the interior surfaces of the sidewalls (18, 20) thereof. The interior surface of at least one sidewall has a groove (36), one wall of the groove being defined by an inclined portion (38). An electrical spring contact (40) is received within the groove, the contact (40) being of the curved, dual cantilever type having a first leg (42), a curved transition portion (44) and a second leg (46). The contact being disposed to define a clearance space between itself and the incline. The legs and curved portion (44) responding to the introduction of a male plug (P) 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 (P) despite dimensional variations in the housing (12) due to manufacture. |
