Connector assembly

A contact, comprising:

• a forward portion defining a first width as measured along a Y-axis;
• a first angled portion defining a second width as measured along the Y-axis;
• a securement portion defining a third width as measured along the Y-axis;
• a second angled portion defining a fourth width as measured along the Y-axis;
• and
• a rear portion defining a fifth width as measured along the Y-axis, the forward portion, the first angled portion, the securement portion, the second angled portion and the rear portion being arranged sequentially as measured along an X-axis;
• wherein each of the second width and the fourth width is less than each of the first width and the third width;
• and wherein the securement portion extends along the X-axis between the first angled portion and the second angled portion.

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a base extending along a Y-axis;
• a channel extending through the base along an X-axis, opening at two opposed sides of the base spaced apart along the X-axis and comprising a channel engagement feature;
• a first contact disposed at least partially within the channel, the first contact defining a securement portion having an engagement portion and an extension portion, the engagement portion being disposed forward of the extension portion along the X-axis, and the engagement portion securing to the base at the channel by engaging the channel engagement feature;
• and
• a second contact defining a second contact rear portion, at least a portion of the second contact rear portion being disposed below, as measured along a Z-axis, the extension portion at a location P, the second contact rear portion defining a width as measured along a Y-axis at the location P,
• wherein a distance between the second contact rear portion and the extension portion at the location P, as measured along the Z axis, is at least as great as the width of the second contact rear portion as measured along the Y-axis at the location P.
