摘要

An electrical connector assembly contains removable contacts. An insulator member is mounted in the connector shell and has a plurality of cavities formed therein. A contact retention member comprises a disc portion, one face of which adjoins a face of the insulator. Yieldable clip members for securing the contact members in the connector assembly form an integral part of the retention member and extend from the disc portion face. The clip members are freely positioned in the insulator member cavities. The cavities limit a radial outward movement of the clip members when the contacts are inserted in the connector assembly. Each of the clip members may be split longitudinally and expanded radially upon insertion of the contact members. Further, the clip members may terminate in the cavities of the insulator member. The clip members abut the contact members at the clip termination and thus preventing the contacts from moving axially, once the contacts are fully positioned in the connector assembly. An insertion tool may be utilized for removal of the contact from the connector assembly.
