Abstract
An electrical connector having a housing with positioning projections extending from a first surface. A terminal receiving cavity is provided in the housing. An opening is provided in the first surface and extends to the terminal receiving cavity. A terminal is positioned in the terminal receiving cavity. The terminal has a facing securing face. A terminal retainer is movably mounted to the first surface of the housing. The terminal retainer has a terminal retention projection and retainer positioning projections. As the terminal retainer is moved to a second position, the terminal retention projection cooperates with the securing face of the terminal to prevent movement of the terminal and the retainer positioning projections of the terminal retainer cooperate with the positioning projections of the housing to prevent the movement of the terminal retainer in a direction which is in line with a longitudinal axis of the housing.
