ABSTRACT:
A connector is described, of the type that has an insulator (16) with passages (22) that hold contacts (24), in which the contacts can be installed by pressing them into the passages, wherein the passages and contacts are formed to more securely hold the contacts in place. Each passage has a narrowed passage section (36) with front and rear ends, and each contact has a forward part (48) with a contact shoulder (52) that abuts a shoulder (42) at the front of the passage section. Mid and rear flanges (54, 46) lie behind the contact front part and in interference fit with the narrowed passage section, with the rear flange having a smaller outside diameter than the mid flange. The rear end of the passage has a short tapered part (64) that is engaged by the rear flange. The mid flange has anti-rotation notches (58), with cylindrical peripheral parts (70) lying between the notches.
