Electrical connector assembly.

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (100) comprises a plurality of contacts (10) removably mounted in densely packed cavities (73) of a connector housing (70), each cavity having a contiguous keyway slot (74) and oppositely inwardly facing shoulders (75,76). Each contact (10) includes a resilient tine (20) having an edge (21) for engaging the rear shoulder (76) to prevent withdrawal from the cavity, a locator key (30) adapted to be received in the keyway slot (74) and for orienting the tine and engaging the forward shoulder (75) to limit inward placement of the contact in the cavity and a rolled shoulder (40) having an installation abutment surface (41) at the rear (14) end of the sleeve, proper orientation of the tine allowing dense packing of the cavities and their associated contacts.
