ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric connector housing (30, 60) having contact-receiving cavities (31a, 62) in which electrical contacts (20, 50) are received, the contacts (20, 50) are received, the contacts (20, 50) have engaging projections (21, 54) extending upwardly from an upper surface which are engaged by free ends of resilient arms (37) extending inwardly from opposite sides of the contact-receiving cavities thereby restricting movement of the contacts in the contact-receiving cavities (31a, 62) in a direction opposite to that of the insertion direction. A vertical fin (23) is provided on the upper surface of the contacts (20, 50) and disposed between the resilient arms (37). The engaging projections (54) have a space (55) in which a rib (39) of an inner section of a wall of the contact-receiving cavities (31a, 62) is disposed.
