Abstract
A power cable connector for battery cables or the like includes a terminal cantilever-mounted in a cavity in an insulating housing. A retention spring includes a biasing portion with latching structure for retaining the terminal in the cavity. A release tongue on the spring permits the biasing portion to be flexed for withdrawal of the terminal. The release tongue includes a transversely extending barrier portion blocking the gap between the spring and the terminal so that the terminal can be pushed from the cavity without wedging.
