Patent ID: 7731520

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a housing having contact receiving cavities extending from a wire-receiving face to a mating face, alignment cavities positioned adjacent the contact receiving cavities, the alignment cavities extending from the mating face toward the wire-receiving face; contacts positioned in the contact receiving cavities, the contacts having wire-receiving portions and contact sections, the contact sections being positioned in the contact receiving cavities proximate the mating face; a connector latch arm extending from the housing, the connector latch arm having a latch projection proximate the mating face, the latch projection being movable relative to the housing; and the contact receiving cavities having latch arm projections and retention shoulders which extend into securing sections of the contact receiving cavities, the latch arm projections and the retention shoulders cooperating with mounting shoulders of the contacts to retain the contacts in the contact receiving cavities, the latch arm projections being provided on contact latch arms which can be resiliently displaced to move the latch arm projections out of the contact receiving cavities, thereby allowing the contacts to be removed from the contact receiving cavities.
