ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for connecting conductors of a conductive wire to a terminal of a complementary connector comprises a dielectric housing defining an array of terminal passageways therein. A dam upward extends from the terminal passageway. A wedge rearwardly extends from the dam thereby defining a retaining gap between an inner surface of the passageway and the wedge. Terminals are assembled in the terminal passageways and each has a mating portion adapted to mate with a corresponding terminal of the complementary connector. A tongue extends from the mating portion for being securely retained within the gap. A cavity is defined adjacent to the retaining gap for retaining an anchoring foot of the terminal.
