ABSTRACT: A receptacle contact (22) adapted to be received in a connector housing (26), or a connector housing (26) having the receptacle contact (22) received therein, wherein the receptacle contact (22) is a three sided contact forming a U-shaped channel (68) for receiving a contact element (46). The contact (22) comprises a pair of tapered fixed beams (64,66) at least portions of which are curved inwardly toward each other with a smooth continuous curvature to a spacing at least less than the diameter or cross section width of a contact element (46) to be received therebetween. The tapered fixed beams (64,66) taper from forward and trailing ends (70,72) toward a midpoint (74). The contact (22) may have a center rib (96) integral with and extending between the bases (86,94) that are integral with the ends (70,72) of the fixed beams (64,66). The rib (96) includes retention means (98,102) for securing the contact in a contact receiving passage (32) of a connector housing (26). The retention means (98,102) cooperate with the walls (106,114) of the contact receiving passage (32) to secure the contact (22) to one side of the passage (32).
