ABSTRACT:
A right angle connector assembly (20) having contact receiving passages (36) therein has a solder post spacer plate (46) having a plurality of parallel channels (106) laterally aligned with the contact receiving passages (36). As the mating portion of a contact (38) is inserted into a respective contact receiving passage (36), the mounting portion of the contact (42), typically a solder post (44), is inserted into a laterally aligned channel (106) in the spacer plate (46). The mounting portion of the contact (42) has means (126,132,120,122,124) for preventing axial movement toward the spacer plate (46) on both sides (128,134) thereof. The axial movement preventing means (126,132,120,122,124) may take the form of stop shoulders (130,136) that engage the locator plate. Any attempt to move the mounting portion on one or both sides (128,134) of the locator plate (46) of the contact (38) normal to the plane of the locator plate (46) is prevented.
