<p>An electrical connector allows for easy removal of electrical contacts from a housing even if the contacts are arranged in multiple rows. Electrical connector (1) comprises a housing (10) having contact-receiving cavities (11) arranged in multiple rows and multiple electrical contacts (20) disposed in the contact-receiving cavities (11). Each contact (20) includes a contact section (21) intended to form electrical connection with a mating contact, a wire-connecting section (22) located behind the contact section (21) and a retention device (23) engaging with a retention lug (17) of the housing (10). The retention device (23) comprises two spring-loaded lances (24) that are arranged along an axis of the contact and they can be bent to left and right directions. The retention device (23) is located near a front end of the contact section (21), and the housing (10) has recesses (18) for the insertion of a retention-release tool extending from the front surface (14) of the housing (10) to the retention device (23). <IMAGE></p> |
