ABSTRACT:
A connector in accordance with the present invention comprises a dielectric contact carrier including a multiplicity of orifices extending from the front to the rear thereof in which a multiplicity of contact spring assemblies are respectively mounted. The free ends of the spring contacts are bent over so that they extend rearwardly cantilever fashion beneath the carrier and a wedge shaped latch extends upwardly from the carrier. The carrier is accommodated by an opening in the rear of a dielectric support, the opening leading to a carrier receiving cavity in the upper portion of the support and the upper surface of the cavity including a recess for accommodating the latch of the carrier. The support further includes a plug receiving cavity open to the front of the support that is situated beneath the carrier receiving cavity, and a slotted wall for constraining the free ends of the cantilever portions of the spring contacts is located at the rear of the plug receiving opening. The open ends of the slots are adjacent to the carrier receiving opening, and the slots are equal in number to the wire spring contacts and laterally spaced the same distance apart as the fixed ends of the cantilever portions.
