Abstract
A connector assembly allows rear repair/replacement of first contacts so that circuit protection elements may be checked for damage or replaced. A pair of inserts each having a like array of passages extending between its end faces are disposed in a connector shell one insert being fixed and adapted to receive the first contacts and the other insert being removable and carrying in its passages a second contact to mate with a first contact. The first contact carries the circuit protection element and is removably mounted in the shell with one end thereof for mating with a second contact. Means including a coupling nut removably secure the removable insert to a rearward end portion of the shell. Means including a key/keyway on the shell/removable insert align the inserts so that each array of passages is aligned with one another.
