Abstract: An electrical contact is provided for mating with a mating contact. The electrical contact includes a base extending a length along a central longitudinal axis, and an arm extending a length outward from the base along the central longitudinal of the base. The arm includes a first mating bump and a second mating bump. The first and second mating bumps have respective first and second mating surfaces. The arm is configured to engage the mating contact at each of the first and second mating surfaces to establish an electrical connection with the mating contact. The first mating surface of the first mating bump is spaced apart along the length of the arm from the second mating surface of the second mating bump.

Abstract: A mounting assembly configured to mount a communication connector to a panel of an electrical system. The mounting assembly including a stress-distribution member that has an abutment surface abutting a flange of the connector. The stress-distribution member has a fastener opening. The mounting assembly also includes a fastener element that extends along a central axis. The fastener element has a cross-section taken perpendicular to the central axis that is sized and shaped to permit the fastener element to be freely inserted through through-holes of the connector and the panel. The fastener element is inserted into the fastener opening and secured to the fastener element. The stress-distribution member distributes mechanical energy provided by the fastener element when the connector is in a shock or vibration environment.
