<p>An electrical connector (20) includes a dielectric housing (24) having first and second contact receiving channels (40) with each channel defining a pair of side walls (154,156). A rib separates the first and second channels (40) and extends between respective side walls (154,156). A first contact (22) is received in the first channel (40) and defines an axis (112) with first and second side (100,102) on opposite sides thereof. The first side edge (100) has a barb (108) extending away from the axis (112). The second side edge (102) has a barb (110) extending away from the axis (112) at a location spaced along the axis (112) a distance (122) from the barb (108) extending from the first side edge (100). The barb (108) extending from the first side edge (100) engages a side wall of the channel that forms the rib. The second contact (22) is received in the second channel (40) with the second contact also defining an axis (112) and having first and second side edges (100,102) on opposite sides of the axis. Each side edge (100,102) of the second contact has a barb (108,110) extending away from the axis (112) of the second contact (22) with the barbs extending from the contact at spaced locations. The barb (108) extending from a first side edge (100) of the second contact (22) engages the side wall of the second channel (40) that forms the rib (158) to secure the second contact (22) in the second channel (40). <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
