Abstract

A connector for retaining a metal terminal having an engagement portion therein. The connector includes a connector housing having a terminal receiving hole for receiving the terminal therein. The connector housing has a flexible retaining member extending therefrom which is engageable with the engagement portion of the terminal when the terminal is in a completely engaged position. A retaining reinforcement member is insertable into the connector housing to retain the flexible retaining member engaged in the terminal. Specifically, the reinforcement member includes a groove defined by opposing retaining walls. When the reinforcement member is inserted into the connector housing, the flexible retaining piece is positioned in the groove and surrounded on opposite sides by the retaining walls which prevent lateral displacement of the retaining member.
