A press-in spring contact connector and method of pressing the same are provided. A plurality of contact springs are clamped between inner and outer insulator members. Each contact spring has a fastening section disposed parallel to, but offset from, a press-in part. Each contact spring has a recess which is engaged by a respective nose extending from the inner insulator member, the nose extending generally perpendicularly to the fastening section. The connector can be installed using a flat die that presses against a top surface of the outer insulator member without using a traditional press-in pressure member having pressure pins. The press-in loads are transmitted through the inner insulator member, the nose members and the recesses engaged therewith, and ultimately, to the press-in parts.
