Abstract

An inner housing (36) defines a pin retaining receptacle (40) elongated in an X-direction with entry ramps (42) extending parallel to the X-direction. The inner housing (36) is slidably coupled to an outer housing (38) and extends into an interior thereof. A plurality of centering blades (64) extend into the interior and between the inner (36) and outer housings (38) to locate the pin retaining receptacle (40) in a central position within the interior in a Y-direction prior to insertion of the pin (24) into the pin retaining receptacle (40). The centering blades (64) are movable in the Y-direction to permit the pin retaining receptacle (40) of the inner housing (36) to move to a non-central position relative to the outer housing (38) in the Y-direction as a result of the inner housing (36) moving the centering blades (64) in response to the pin (24) engaging the entry ramps (42) during insertion of the pin (24) into the pin retaining receptacle (40). Associated methods are also disclosed.
