ABSTRACT:
Contacts and receiving sleeves within a discrete connector insulator are sized to permit the contacts to be inserted into the sleeves of the insulator and secured therein by a small force applied to the top of the contacts. Receiving sleeves formed in the insulator are constructed to permit the contacts to be top loaded therein and lightly forced over detent means comprise a downwardly facing shoulder having an upper body portion tapering to the edge of the shoulder region complementarily formed for abutting engagement against the insulator shoulder for securing the contact in the insulator. The contacts are inserted into the insulator simultaneously while depending from a common support strip for facilitating assembly of the connector. The connector receives and electrically connects a mating printed circuit board through insertion thereof into the upper part of the insulative housing. The assembled discrete connector of the present invention permits removal of individual contacts from the connector for repair by the insertion of a contact receiving tool into the contact sleeve in the insulator for moving the collar portion of the contact laterally away from the insulator detent shoulder and permitting its upward removal therefrom.
