Abstract
An electrical connector is provided which includes an insulative housing with an electrical contact inserted therein. The electrical contact includes a solder tail at one end, a deflectable wiping element at the other end, and an elongate contact body therebetween. The contact body includes a deflectable tang acutely extending therefrom. The tang engages a locking shoulder in the cavity so as to prevent the removal of the contact from the cavity. An access aperture in the housing communicates with the cavity to allow deflecting engagement of the tang away from the locking shoulder so that the contact may be removed from the cavity.
