ABSTRACT:
A high speed connector (10) includes an insulative housing (12) defining a central slot (14) with two rows of passageways (16) by two sides thereof wherein each passageway (16) receives a contact (18) therein. Each contact (18) includes a base (20) with retention means (24) for interferentially engaging the contact (18) within the corresponding passageway (16). From the base (20), a main arm (26) extends upwardly toward and into the central slot (14), and an auxiliary arm (28) extends upward spaced from the main arm (26) and also spaced from the outer wall (30 in the passageway (16). When the module (100) is inserted into the central slot (14), the module (100) first engages the main arm (26) and pushes the main arm (26) outwardly. The main arm (26) successively engages the corresponding auxiliary arm (28) aside and pushes the auxiliary arm (28) outwardly. Therefore, when the module (100) is fully received within the central slot (14), the main arm (26) and the auxiliary arm (26) are both deflected outward and engaged with each other.
