ABSTRACT:
An electrical plug connector is matable with a pin header and includes a molded plug housing with multiple contact apertures extending between a mating face and a rear face. Angularly spaced ribs extend into the contact receiving aperture to support each contact. Each rib is opposed to molded pawls that are deflectable when a contact is inserted from the rear of the housing. The ribs and the pawls are located at different angularly spaced intervals so that they do not overlap and so that the one piece housing can be molded in a straight pull manner. An annular retaining section on each contact is held between the pawls and the ribs when each contact is fully inserted into a corresponding aperture.
