ABSTRACT:
A universally releasable and extractable retention clip for an electrical contact in a connector housing, the retention clip includes at least one arcuate element having a first end and a second end, and a retaining mechanism located between the first end and the second end which engages a first face and a second face of a collar around the electrical contact for removably retaining the electrical contact in the clip. The arcuate element is resiliently biased such that when the arcuate element is contacted near either its first end or second end with a release and extraction tool, the retaining mechanism is disengaged from both the first face and the second face of the collar simultaneously so that the electrical contact can be extracted from the front or rear of the connector housing.
