ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates generally to an electrical contact for use in electrical connector assemblies and more particularly to a contact assembly having a crimp barrel wherein an inspection aperture in an outer shell is open to the interior of the crimp barrel in order to determine if the conductor has been seated within the barrel to the proper depth. Where the contact assembly comprises two separate pieces, such as a tubular outer shell and a coaxial inner liner, an inspection aperture must be provided in the liner as well as in the shell and the apertures must align. Accordingly, indicia are commonly provided for rotationally orienting the liner with respect to the shell. Providing such indica and then aligning the increases the cost of the contact and complicates its assembly. The present invention provides a contact assembly having an inner liner which is not indixed with respect to the outer shell but which provides an unobstructed inspection aperture to a closed crimp barrel. A pair ofinspection holes extend through the shell and a transverse slot is positioned in the liner wall in longitudinal alignment with the two inspection apertures in the shell. The transverse dimension of the slot along the circumference of the cylindrical liner wall is such that the slot is always aligned with at least one of the inspection apertures in the shell regardless of the rotational orientation of the liner with respect to the shell.
