A hybrid electrical connector includes both signal and power contacts in the same connector housing. The housing includes a plurality of axially extending passageways for receipt of the signal contacts and a plurality of axially extending cavities for receipt of the power contacts. The connector housing further includes a plurality of terminal retaining inserts for the signal contacts. These inserts are latchably retained to the housing, and have a closed face on one side and an open face on the other, with axially extending open slots. The inserts stack one against the other to lock the terminals in place.
