370-77-0100 ELECTRICAL CONTACT RETENTION BUSHING AND METHOD OF MAKING ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A electrical contact retention bushing which is stamped and formed from flat stock. The bushing is stamped in a shape that includes a base portion with a plurality of fingers extending from the base portion. Each finger includes at least one (and preferably two) retention tine. Once formed, the bushing fits within and seats on a shoulder of a wafer within an electrical connector. The bushing retains an electrical contact by engaging a shoulder of the contact with the tines on the fingers. The bushing is preferably stamped from a soft metal which is then heat-treated to harden it and formed into the desired shape to save weight and manufacturing and material costs when compared with a machined bushing.
