ABSTRACT:
A right angle electrical connector (20) includes a housing (22) having a mating face (24), an assembly face (26) opposed from the mating face (24) and adapted to receive at least one electrical contact (50) therein, and a third face (28); at least one contact-receiving passageway (30) extending from the assembly face (26) to the mating face (24), and a contact receiving slot (32) open to the third face (28) and to the assembly face (26). Each electrical contact (50) includes a first connecting portion (52) for electrical engagement with a complementary connector, a second connecting portion (54) extending from the third face (28) and outwardly from the housing (22) for electrical connection to an electrical article and a retention section (56) associated with a cooperable housing channel (36). The contact retention section (56) includes a barb (60) at a leading end thereof and a lance (62) at the rearward end thereof which cooperate to resist rearward and sideways movement of the contact 50 respectively after full assembly of the contact (50) into the contact-receiving passageway (30).
