Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electrical connector having an electrical contact assembly housed within a cavity of a connector shell. The contact assembly includes a contact housing with a core extending in an axial direction and a plurality of fins radiating outwardly from the core, each of the fins separating adjacent housing-receiving cavities from one another. In an assembled configuration, a first plurality of electrical contacts is housed within a first housing receiving cavity and a second plurality of electrical contacts is housed within a second housing receiving cavity, where the first and second plurality of electrical contacts are different in type and structure from one another such that the electrical connector accommodates multiple contact layouts to improve overall functionality.
