The housing defines a first passage for receiving the first cable contact, a second passage for mating with a portion of a second cable contact, and an opening which extends to one end of the first passage. The retaining device is mounted in the first passage and engages with at least a portion of the retaining surface of the first cable contact to detachably retain the first cable contact in the first passage. The groove is formed in the retaining surface of the first cable contact. The opening in the housing is in communication with the groove.
