ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has an insulating body 30 with longitudinal chambers 45, 46 and 47 running through it. Electrical contact elements 81, 82 and 83 are received one each in the chambers. Each chamber has projections .alpha. and .beta. and each contact element has a rebate 86. Rotation of the contact element in the chamber relative to the body from an initial orientation to a second orientation engages the rebate 86 with the projections .alpha. and .beta. to restrain the elements from longitudinal displacement relative to the body. Projections 50 on the external face of the body 30 can engage an external portion of the contact element when that element is rotated to its second orientation to retain the element from rotating relative to the body. The connector can be a plug or a socket. A corresponding method of assembling an electrical connector is described.
