ABSTRACT:
The invention is an electrical connector assembly of the type having a housing (50); a rubber moisture sealing grommet (20) and a contact retaining insert (10) characterized by a plurality of passages (15) that contain a plurality of pivotally mounted (13) and radially deflectable arcuate segments (11) that include on the inside thereof a radially inward projecting and radially tapered shoulder (12) that engages a groove (32) of a contact (30) located in a passage (15). A tool (60) may be inserted into the passage to pivot the arcuate segments (11) outwardly so that the shoulders (12) disengage the groove (32) in the contact (30) thereby releasing the contact (30) for removal from the passage (15).
