Electrical connector with modular housing for accommodating various contact layouts

An electrical connector comprising:

• a shell having a cavity;
• and
• an electrical contact assembly housed within the cavity of the shell, the electrical contact assembly including:
• a contact housing including a core extending along an axial direction and a plurality of fins radiating outwardly from the core, each of the fins separating adjacent housing-receiving cavities from one another;
• a first housing structure having a first plurality of electrical contacts housed therein, the first housing structure seated within a first housing-receiving cavity of the contact housing;
• and
• a second housing structure having a second plurality of electrical contacts housed therein, the second housing structure seated within a second housing-receiving cavity of the contact housing, wherein the first and second plurality of electrical contacts are different from one another, wherein the first and second housing structures each includes a flange extending outwardly therefrom, the electrical connector further including a fastener extending into the core of the contact housing, the fastener engaging the flange of the first and second housing structures to retain the first and second housing structures within the contact housing.
