Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing member having contact receiving passages in which electrical contact members are disposed. The resilient latching arms extend from walls of the contact receiving passages in engagement with contact members thereby retaining the contact members in position in the contact receiving passages with spaces being located between the latching arms and the walls of the contact receiving passages. A retaining member is located in the housing member and has projections disposed in the spaces between the passage walls and the latching arms thereby maintaining the latching arms in engagement with the contact members. Housing member includes a cavity along which retaining member extends. Retaining member has an inner wall including positioning holes through which contact sections of contact members extend into and along cavity with positioning holes serving to align contact sections when retaining member is positioned in cavity.
