The lance recess is the cavity located between the
contact and the connector housing. A solid rib
(locking ledge) at the rear of the lance recess cavity
provides a stop for the extraction tool. The housings
are designed to prevent improper insertion of the
contacts which are inserted into the rear of the
housing.
A lug is located on the side of the MOD I housing
which contains the contact locking ledge.
