ABSTRACT An electrical conductor contact having opposed cantilever fingers configured to mate with a mating contact at a low mating force is provided. Each finger has a contact portion at its free end, The contact portions are offset axially from each other in the longitudinal direction of insertion of a mating contact thereby permitting the surface of the contact portion of the upper finger to be located below the surface of the contact portion of the lower finger. The contact configuration reduces the maximum mating force and permits plating of the contacts with a minimum amount of precious metals. The invention further provides a high density receptacle connector for low force mating with a pin header in printed circuit board applications which is comprised of a plurality of electrical contacts so configured, and a specially configured housing for housing and preloading the plurality of electrical conductor contacts.
