ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An electrical connector assembly (800) in which two mateable housings (200, 500) each have electrical contacts (100, 400) mounted therein. Each contact has a forward mating portion with a plurality of axially aligned wires (120, 420), each wire having an acutely angled forward end surface (122, 422). The axially aligned wires of each contact are surrounded by a shroud or sleeve (130, 430) which extends around the wires and forwardly of the end surfaces to protect them and allow the contact to be inserted into the housing from the rear through a rear- mounted grommet (300, 600). The sleeve (130) on the one contact has a larger diameter forward end than the sleeve (430) on the other mating contact to allow the sleeves to interfit together in telescoped relationship when the housings and contacts are mated. The housing (200) having the contact with the larger diameter sleeve (130) has a contact retention system which includes a forward stop (274) to captivate the contact by engaging the forward end of the sleeve. The forward end of the housing (200) includes a tapered end surface (210) for guiding the smaller sleeve (430) into the larger sleeve (130) in proper alignment for mating of the contact wires in electrical circuit relationship.
