ABSTRACT:
Upper and lower connector sections of a connector block assembly have contact cavities which receive electrical contacts. A pair of resiliently deflectable retainer fingers engage latch flanges disposed in retainer cavities. The retainer fingers have a nonuniform cross sectional configuration. The nonuniform cross sectional configuration of the retainer fingers enables the retainer fingers and the retainer cavities to fit into a dense array of contact cavities formed in the upper and lower connector sections. In addition, the nonuniform cross sectional configuration of the retainer fingers enable them to be resiliently deflected by the latch flanges without breaking. As the connector sections are interconnected, alignment collars extending from a side of one of the connector sections move into recesses formed in the other connector section to accurately align the contact cavities.
