Abstract
An electrical connector has a plurality of internal chambers containing wiring harness terminals for making connection with terminals of a mating wiring harness connector, and a locking wedge receptacle adjacent the terminal chambers having a plurality of electrical component terminals in communication therewith. Latch members separate the terminal chambers from the locking wedge receptacle and have nubs formed thereon which engage the terminals to retain them in their respective chambers. An electrical circuit component such as a fuse, resistor, capacitor or diode is sized to fit snugly within the locking wedge receptacle and has contacts which make electrical connection with the electrical component terminals when inserted therein. Insertion of the circuit component into the locking wedge receptacle places the body of the circuit component in contact with the latch members so that they are maintained in engagement with their respective wiring harness terminals, thereby locking the terminals securely in their respective terminal chambers.
