Wire-trap connector with anti-overstress member

An electrical connector comprising:

• a) a wire clamping electrical contact for grasping onto a wire, said wire clamping electrical contact having an adjustable mounted solder tail;
• b) a connector housing with said wire clamping contact mounted within, and said connector housing having:
• i) a connection passageway for providing access to said clamping contact so that said wire can be inserted within said connector and trapped by said clamping contact;
• ii) a release passageway, located separate from said connection passageway, for providing access to said clamping contact in order to release said wire;
• and
• iii) a channel;
• and
• c) at least one tab projecting from said wire clamping electrical contact;
• and
• d) at least one overstress stop abutment associated with said channel and abutting said tab during the release of said wire from said wire clamping electrical contact.
