146 in the direction of the y axis both first and second spring contacts 140 142 define a general v shape first spring contact 140 includes a board contact end section 200 a first bend 202 followed by a main longitudinal section 204 for receipt in angled surface 186 a second bend 206 is followed by a longitudinal contact section 208 a further bend 210 positions distal end 209 of contact section 208 at an angle relative to a remainder of contact section 208 second spring contact 142 includes a board contact end section 220 a first bend 222 followed by a longitudinal main section 224 which resides in second channel 184 second spring contact 142 further includes a second bend 226 followed by a longitudinal contact section 228 as shown in the figs board contact end sections 200 220 are staggered in two rows as shown in fig1 main sections 204 224 are not parallel and one set of spring contacts 140 includes a bend 210 in the contact section 208 which positions the distal ends of spring contacts 140 142 so that the ends are not parallel also bends 206 226 are positioned such that the pivot points of spring contacts 140 142 are not in the same line these features cooperate to isolate selected spring contacts to reduce crosstalk especially at higher frequencies as may be encountered in a catagory standard base 146 includes an elongate tab 240 extending toward a rear end of the assembly 134 a distal end of tab 240 includes a ramped surface 242 diverging outwardly tab terminates in a planar surface 244 facing end while the various.
