ABSTRACT:
An electrical contact (10) for use with an electrical contact assembly (80) includes an electrical contact (10) with a contact section (20), IDC section (30) and a relief section (40). The electrical contact (10) is disposed in a dielectric housing (60) having a rotatable stuffer member (70) for pushing a wire (12) into electrical engagement with IDC section (30). Force vector F is a separating force which will cause the strain relief section (40) to deflect and thereby more firmly grip the wire (12) between a retention gripping portion (46) and a retention surface (76) of stuffer (70). Any separating force will cause stop member (27) of contact section (20) to engage a shoulder (62) of housing (60) thereby causing a shearing action as an edge (28b) engages the stop member (27).
