ABSTRACT:
A spacer (14) to be retained within a receptacle housing (11) in either a preset position or a final position. The spacer (14) has a pair of blades (17, 18) to be inserted in respective slots (67, 68) in the receptacle housing (11). Each blade (17, 18) provides first and second bumps (29-32) on the internal surface (24, 25) of the blade (17, 18) and these bumps (29-32) engage internal bumps (73-76) in the slots (67, 68) of the receptacle housing (11), such that upon receiving the spacer (14) in the preset position, the first bump (30, 31) on each of the blades (17, 18) prevents the spacer (14) from coming out and the second bump (29, 32) resists inserting the spacer (14) further to the final position. Upon receiving the spacer (14) in the final position, the second bump (29, 32) on each of the blades (17, 18) prevents the spacer (14) from coming out, thereby preventing an accidental insertion and removal of the spacer (14).
