摘要

The invention relates to an electrical connector (10) comprising an electrical contact (22); and a housing (20). The housing (20) comprises a first member (24) and a second member (26). The first member (24) comprises a contact receiving channel (40, 42). The second member (26) is over-molded onto the first member (24). The electrical contact (22) is located in the channel (40, 42) and retained on the housing (20) by a capture of the contact between the first (24) and second (26) members. The first member (24) and the contact (22) extend past a first end of the capture of the contact between the first (24) and second (26) members.
