A contact includes a main body having a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side. The contact includes a terminating end extending from the main body and a mating beam extending from the main body opposite the terminating end. The mating beam has a root at the main body and a tip opposite the root. The mating beam has an elongated coupling base between the root and the tip. The elongated coupling base has a bottom surface configured to face a mating contact being generally parallel to the mating contact between the root and the tip.
