Abstract
A cover used to retain terminals in a connector housing prior to application of the housing to a printed board. The over is applied to the face of the connector housing and simulates the shape of a mating connector. Terminals, when assembled in the connector housing at the terminal receiving face abut the cover and are forced into receiving grooves in the housing. Pressure applied to the terminals by the cover retains the terminals within the housing until the housing and terminals are mounted in a printed circuit board. The cover also functions as a dust cover as well as a tool for insertion of the connector into a printed circuit board.
