ABSTRACT A female contact has at least one contact arm with an out- wardly diverging tip end for guiding the tip of a male blade in- serted into the contact. A contact arm abutment is mounted on a contact chamber sidewall and projects inwardly into the chamber. The abutment is aligned with an elongated contact arm of the female contact and is spaced outwardly from that arm to set the limit of acceptable outward contact arm deflection. A portion of the contact arm extending rearwardly from the diverging tip end is channeled to allow this end to clear the abutment when the contact is inserted longitudinally into the chamber from the rearward end thereof. The abutment limits outward displace- ment of the contact arm to prevent the overstressing of the arm by an engaging male blade and in a preferred embodiment, is formed as a unitary part of the pocket sidewall.
