ABSTRACT:
A high pin-density electrical connector of the type comprising a rear housing having openings for the passage of elongated, shouldered, electrical contacts through it, and having latching elements on its front face comprising spring fingers which close on the contacts behind their shoulders to latch them against withdrawal. A front housing provides recesses in which each of the latching elements and the front end of a corresponding one of the contacts are seated, with the sidewalls of the recesses providing support for the spring fingers. Close spacings of adjacent contacts are achieved by locating at least some of the recesses so close together that their walls intersect to form a communicating opening between them, and by placing the spring fingers circumferentially in their respective recesses so as to be in apposition to and supported by complete recess walls, rather than at the position of one of the communicating openings, where wall support for the fingers would be absent. Preferably the fingers in each recess are two in number, diametrically opposed to each other across the recess, and at 90.degree. circumferentially from any communicating opening between the contiguous recesses.
