ABSTRACT:
A one-piece dielectric insert 10 including an array of through passages 15 having formed at opposite ends thereof integral cavity means for removably securing a longitudinally slit C-shaped contact retention clip 29, the clip removably positioning a pin/socket contact for mating. An insert cavity 23 is defined by constriction means at one passage end for reducing the clip diameter and for preventing rearward movement of the clip and an abutment 21 at the other passage end for limiting forward movement of the clip. The constriction means comprises a pair of angularly separated shoulder housings 17 with each housing being coaxial with the passage and having a concave surface for engaging the clip to reduce the clip diameter.
