ABSTRACT:
A solder cup (24) adapted to be secured to the shank (44) of a contact (22) received in a connector (20) has a generally cylindrical body sized to receive the shank (44) of the contact (22) therein. The body has at least one retention feature (108) proximate a first end (92) that defines an effective diameter (132) within the bore (90) that is less than the cross section measurement of the shank (44) of a contact (22) to be received therein. Upon insertion of the shank (44) of a contact (22) into the bore (90) of the solder cup (24), an interference fit is achieved between the shank (44) and retention features (108) of the solder cup (24) to provide electrical engagement therebetween and to secure the solder cup (24) on the shank (44).
