ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a housing (20) having a mating face (22) and an opposed rear face (24), the housing being formed with a plurality of contact receiving passageways (26) extending between the mating face and the rear face. Each of the passageways contains a contact (40) which includes a generally linear central body portion (42), a terminal portion (46) at a first end of the central body portion which includes a slotted insulation displacing plate (48) adapted to mechanically and electrically engage an individual cable wire, a generally linear pin receiving beam portion (50) at the second end of the central body portion (42) which is offset from the line (52) defined by the linear central body portion, and retention means (44) on the central body portion for engaging the housing (20) to retain the contact in its passageway (26). Each of the housing passageways (26) is formed with a major passageway (28) of uniform width extending from the mating face (22) to the rear face (24) and a cavity (30) of width less than the uniform width adjacent to and communicating with the major passageway (28).
