contact beams 16 being shown in phantom it can be seen that the widths of contact beams 24 of the receptacle connector are significantly wider than the widths of contact beams 16 of the plug connector in comparing the differences between the widths of the contact beams with the dimensional clearances c x and c y in fig1 it can be understood that there will be constant engagement between contact beams 24 and contact beams 16 regardless of the amount of floating movement between the two connectors referring back to fig1 arrow 27 represents the direction of deflection of cantilevered spring beams 15 and contact beams 16 of terminals 7 of plug connector 2 when the connectors are mated because of the angle of contact beams 16 in particular and in conjunction with the deflection of spring beams 15 a vertical force vector is created in the direction of arrow 28 from each contact beam 16 against contact beam 24 of terminal 20 of the receptacle connector when the connectors are mated the open end of receptacle portion 21 in bottom surface 192 of the receptacle connector will confront and abut against abutment wall 8 b of plug connector 2 when all.
