Abstract
A connector assembly has a first part with an interior for receiving right-angle electrical terminals through an insertion end. Wire-connect segments of the terminals seat within cradle-like members aligned in sets of rows extending across the width of the interior. Electrical mating segments of the terminals extend perpendicularly from the wire-connect segments. A second part of the connector assembly has chambers for receiving the mating segments of the terminal and a compartment with inner cradle-like members aligned in sets of rows across the compartment. The cradle-like members of the first and second parts are arranged to correspond in position to each other when the second part is assembled on the first part so the wire-connect segments are clamped within the cradle-like members, reducing vibrational and other motion of the terminals within the assembly.
