Abstract
An electrical connector that includes an assembly for demountably mounting the electrical contacts within a connector body. The contact retention system includes an insert (30) that includes a plurality of generally rectangularly shaped retention members (31) that provide for lateral support of a contact (10) in addition to preventing rearward movement of the contact once it is completely inserted into the insert (30). The retention members are resiliently expandable in a radial direction so that the contact retention members will expand to allow the enlarged portion of the contact to pass through the insert but contract behind the enlarged portion of the contact to prevent rearward movement thereof.
