Abstract
An electrical connector in which electrical terminals are retained within a connector housing in a simple and reliable manner to withstand expected pulling forces without unwanted release of the terminals from the housing. The housing has one or more passageways for receiving respective terminals, an abutment at the inner end of each passageway to limit the insertion depth of the associated terminal, a V-grooved abutment in each passage cooperative with yieldable tines of an associated terminal to retain the terminal in place after insertion into its passage, and walls defining each passage for maintaining the associated terminal in position after insertion into the housing.
