The coaxial cable connector according to the invention includes a male connector having a male terminal assembly that connects to a female connector having a female terminal assembly during coupling between the male connector and the female connector. Programming target voltages and read voltages may be adjusted together over memory life to map memory states to an increasingly wide threshold window. The soft metal stopper is preferably formed of copper, although other soft metals capable of withstanding high temperatures may be employed. Three fingers extend from the back side of the disc and terminate at a lip edge.
