An electrical connector (10) for receiving a printed circuit board (40) and for establishing connection between the board and wiring (28) includes a contact member (20), having contacts (44) for establishing connection to the printed circuit board (40), and includes contact retention tabs (30) for preventing tension applied to wires (28) from causing the contact member (30) from becoming separated from the connector body (12). Preferably, the contact retention tabs (30) become wedged into a side (34) of a barrier wall (16) when upward force is applied, but the force causing the tabs to become wedged may also be supplied by a clamping plate (24) for clampingly retaining the wire (28), or by the wire (28) itself. <IMAGE> |
