Abstract
A contact assembly that comprises a conductive outer body that defines an outer perimeter and an insulative insert body that is receivable in that outer body. The insert body supports first and second contacts in a spaced arrangement. The insert body includes an area that surrounds the conductors between the conductors and the outer perimeter of the outer body, wherein the distance between the conductors and the outer perimeter of the outer body defined by the area of the insert body is substantially constant.
