A first right angle contact has a horizontal section attached to one face of the first front partition and a vertical section. A second right angle contact has a horizontal section attached to one face of the second front partition and a vertical section retained in the rear partition of the front housing. A rear housing receiving the vertical section of the first right angle contact is engaged with the front housing. The vertical section of the first right angle contact has most lengthwise portion thereof fixed to a vertical wall of the rear housing. An outer metal shell encircles the front housing and the rear housing.
