The contact includes a retaining portion (31) fixed in the passageway, a contact portion (32) extending forwardly from the retaining portion and a tail portion (33) extending backwardly from the retaining portion. The transfer contact includes a U-shaped portion (41) for receiving the tail portion (33) and a cable connection portion (42) extending from the U-shaped portion for receiving the cable. The U-shaped portion includes a pair of side walls (412). At least one of the side walls (412) includes an elastic arm (413) engaging with the tail portion (33) of the contact for improving fixation force therebetween.
