Electrical connector with spring biased contacts

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having first and second mating faces configured to engage mating contacts, said housing includes a contact retention chamber;
• a cap secured to said housing to close said contact retention chamber, said cap having a base end configured to engage a mating contact and an open end formed with beams;
• a plunger contact provided in said contact retention chamber, said plunger contact having a plunger end projecting from said housing and having a second end communicating with said open end of said cap, said plunger contact and said cap telescopically moving relative to one another along a contact motion axis, said second end of said plunger contact including a spring retention area;
• and
• a spring provided between said plunger contact and said cap, said spring engaging said spring retention area of said plunger contact, at least one of said plunger contact and cap including an inclined interface engaging said spring to pivot said plunger contact relative to said cap, thereby causing an exterior surface of said plunger contact to electrically engage an interior surface of said cap to maintain a direct electrical connection therebetween independent of said spring during at least a portion of said telescopic movement.
