Abstract
An arrangement for contact securing in an electrical connector includes a securing insert, which, with tabs, that constrict the clear width of the chambers by extending through an opening. The securing insert comprises four walls which form a rectangle. One securing insert surrounds a plurality of chambers. The first wall of the securing insert, which has the tabs is displaced by the deformation of the second wall prpendicularly to the plugging direction and thus frees the clear width of the chambers for the contacts by moving the tabs out of the chambers. Upon release of the second wall the elastic nature of the securing insert naturally biases the tabs into the chambers.
