A subassembly (10) for an inline female contact has an electrically conductive member (12) and a tubular insulating member (14) surrounding said electrically conductive member (12). The electrically conductive member (12) comprises a male receiving end (16), a wire receiving end (18) and an intermediate portion (20) connecting the male receiving end (16) and the wire receiving end (18). An expansion slot (22) extends longitudinally at least the length of the male receiving end (16) and the intermediate portion (20). The male receiving end (16) is substantially tubular with an outwardly flared terminus (24). To aid in the insertion process the tubular male receiving end (16) can be slightly tapered from the intermediate portion (20) to the flared terminus (24). A first camming surface (26) is formed on a leading area (27) of the intermediate portion (20), and a second, cooperating camming surface (28) is formed on a trailing area (29) of a cantilever arm (30) formed in the insulating member (14). A first retention section (32) is formed on the cantilever beam (30) for cooperating with a second retention section (34) formed on the intermediate portion (20). <IMAGE>
