| 1. An electrical connector for electrically connecting a plug assembly with a plurality of conductive pads to a PCB comprising:
an insulative housing having sidewalls arrangement defining a rectangular receiving cavity;
a first and second set of spring contacts disposed in the housing each with deflectable spring arms disposed in the receiving
cavity;
the housing defining a pair of push fingers on two neighboring sidewalls by said receiving cavity, a first area configured
to near a corner defined by the two neighboring sidewalls wherein the first set of spring contacts are receiving in the first
area and oriented in a first direction;
both of the sidewalls defining a second area excluding the first area, the second set of spring contacts receiving in the
second area and being oriented in a second direction approximately opposing the first direction;
when a plug assembly is mated into the receiving cavity, all said first set of spring contacts resulting in a first compound
force extending along a first direction and all said second set of spring contacts resulting in a second compound force extending
along a second direction, and the push fingers on the two neighboring sidewalls resulting in a resilient compound force; wherein
the sum of the first compound force and the resilient compound force is equal/approximately equal to the second compound force.
