    摘要: A connector is provided which enables close spacing of socket contacts in a highly reliable manner. The connector includes contact assemblies that each have at least two sheet metal contacts (26, 28 in FIG. 2) lying in parallel planes and a dielectric support (54) molded to the rearward portions of the contacts and to wire conductors (50, 52) connected thereto. The dielectic support includes a spacer portion (56) with a pair of arms (60, 62) separating the forward or mating ends of the socket contacts. The spacer arms are initially molded so they diverge from living hinges (66, 68) connecting them to the rearward portion of the support, the arms being pivotal together and having latches that hold them together at positions between the contacts. One of the arms includes a projection or retainer (106) that holds the contact assembly in a connector frame.
