A right angle connector assembly having contact receiving passages (36) therein has a solder post spacer plate having a plurality of parallel channels laterally aligned with the contact receiving passages (36). As the mating portion of a contact (38) is inserted into a respective contact receiving passage (36), the mounting portion (42) of the contact, typically a solder post (44), is inserted into a laterally aligned channel in the spacer plate. The mounting portion (42) of the contact has means (126, 132) for preventing axial movement toward the spacer plate on both sides thereof. The axial movement preventing means (126, 132) may take the form of stop shoulders (126, 132) that engage the locator plate. Any attempt to move the mounting portion (42) on one or both sides of the locator plate and normal to the plane of the locator plate is prevented. |
