Abstract

A contact retaining clip is fixed in an insulator cavity by the use of discontinuities around the clip which can be wedged or embedded in the insulator. Preferably a probe is inserted into the clip to expand it. The clip and/or the probe may be heated prior or during insertion or by heating after insertion of the clip but before expansion of the clip.
