Abstract
A contact retention device for an electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing (12) having a cavity (18) with opposed first and second walls (30, 32). A recess (34) in the first wall (30) has side walls (35) which define corners (36) with the first wall. A contact (40) has a retention section (46) configured for insertion into the cavity (18). The retention section (46) has a base surface (54) which resides against the second wall (32) of the cavity. An oppositely facing surface (56) of the retention section has an embossment (58) with non-parallel side surfaces (60) which engage the corners (36) of the cavity in an interference fit, thereby retaining the contact in the connector.
