A slidable current collector (118) has frame (302) formed as central substrate (308) and sloped shoulders (310, 312) on opposing lateral sides of the central substrate (308). Electrical terminals (306) pass through orifices arranged in at least two rows within the central substrate (308). At least one bumper (318) is disposed on an underside (324) of the central substrate (308) between the at least two rows. During sliding on a power rail (108), the electrical terminals (306) contact a rail surface (408), and the current collector (118) can shift laterally on the rail surface (408) across a distance between the bumper (318) and one of the sloped shoulders (310). If disengagement of the electrical terminals (306) from the rail surface (408) occurs, angles on the sloped shoulders (310, 312) and the at least one bumper (318) resist excessive lateral shifting and urge the electrical contacts to reengage with the rail surface (408).
