Abstract
An electrical connector has a dielectric body having longitudinally opposite inner and outer faces and formed with a central cavity opening longitudinally outward at the outer face and a pair of side cavities flanking the central cavity and also opening longitudinally outward at the outer face, respective stiff contacts fixed in the side cavities and each having an outer end projecting longitudinally outward from the respective side cavity past the outer face, an elastically deformable generally U-shaped bridge clip having a bight in the central cavity and a pair of generally longitudinally extending arms each having an outer end projecting longitudinally outward from the central cavity past the outer face, each of the arm outer ends bearing transversely on a respective one of the contact outer ends in an uncoupled position of the connector. The bight is held in the cavity to retain the clip therein against longitudinal movement.
