ABSTRACT:
A contact retention assembly for a front insertion-front release socket contact in which the contact body behind the forward cylindrical mating end thereof is flattened and formed with a transverse opening. The bore in the cylindrical forward mating end of the contact communicates with the transverse opening. Resilient contact retention fingers extend inwardly and rearwardly from the wall of the contact passage to engage the rear wall of the transverse opening to restrict forward movement of the contact in the passage. A tool may be inserted through the forward end of the contact into the transverse opening to deflect the fingers outwardly to release the contact so that it may be removed from the front of the insulator.
