Abstract: A male contact assembly includes a contact body having a mating end and a wire end opposite the mating end. The wire end has a wire barrel configured to receive and be terminated to a wire conductor. The male contact assembly includes a spring body having a front end and a rear end. The rear end is coupled to the mating end of the contact body such that the rear end of the spring body and the mating end of the contact body are coaxially aligned for a mating length. The front end of the spring body includes a male connector comprising at least one compliant beam. The at least one compliant beam of the male connector is resiliently deflected when connected to an external female connector.
