An electrical connector (10) for use with a module includes an insulative elongated housing (12) and a module-receiving recess (14) which extends longitudinally within and between opposite ends (16) of the housing (12). A plurality of cavities (40) are transversely positioned along the recess (14) and open out on both sides thereof. A contact (60) is received within each cavity (40) and includes a base portion (62) in a horizontal direction. A generally S-shaped spring beams (64) extends upward from one end of the base portion (62), and a generally L-shaped spring beam (72) extends upward from the other side of the base portion (62). A retention section (76) extends upward between two spring beams (64, 72) and includes a pair of posts (78) separated along a slot (80). A notch (82) is positioned at the top of the retention section (76) in alignment with the slot (80). A rib (50) extends through the recess (14) and has a plurality of apertures (55) each in alignment with the corresponding cavity (40) to receive the retention section (76) of the contact (60). An embossment (56) is positioned within each aperture (55) to deflect the retention section (76) of the contact (60) when the connector (10) is assembled together.
