Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a connector body having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities formed therein and a plurality of flexible retaining arms integrally formed with a cavity wall and projecting from the cavity wall into the terminal receiving cavity toward a centerline of the terminal receiving cavity. The retaining arm defining a lock surface extending from a first free end of the retaining arm in a direction toward the centerline of the terminal receiving cavity. The assembly also includes a plurality of terminals having an end configured to connect with a corresponding mating terminal and a second end configured to be secured to a wire. The end defines a lock edge. The terminal is received in the terminal receiving cavity such that the first lock surface and the second lock surface engages the lock edge, thereby inhibiting the terminal from being withdrawn from the terminal receiving cavity.
