Abstract
The electrical connector includes a housing of dielectric material with a plurality of side walls and a plug receiving cavity opening on one side of the housing. First and second guides are integrally formed on an inner surface of one side wall and extend into the plug receiving cavity. The second guides project from the inner surface for a distance less than that of the first guides. The first and second guides alternate along the side wall. First and second contacts are received in the first and second guides. Each contact has a generally straight support leg engaged in the respective guide, an arcuately bent portion extending from the support leg and a free end portion extending from the bent portion into the plug receiving cavity. The support legs of the first and second contacts are located in the first and second parallel and spaced planes.
