Abstract
A system for securing one or more electrical contacts within an electrical component includes a main housing defining a contact-retaining chamber, a base fixed within the contact-retaining chamber, a resilient retainer supported on the base and positioned around at least a portion of the one or more electrical contacts, a compressor within the contact-retaining chamber, wherein the resilient retainer is positioned between the base and the compressor, and a moveable actuator configured to be moved into a retaining position in which a retaining force is exerted into the compressor. The retaining force is translated into the resilient retainer to securely retain the electrical contact(s) within the electrical component.
