Abstract

An electrical connector includes a contact assembly having a cylindrical contact element and a terminal member defining a cylindrical contact element support surface and contact element retention surfaces juxtaposed with the support surface with passages opening into the terminal member and extending through the retention surfaces. Axially facing ends of the retention surfaces have spacing therebetween less than the axial extent of the contact element for retaining the same and axially distal ends of the passages have spacing therebetween exceeding the contact element axial extent to facilitate non-deforming contact element insertion in the terminal member.
