ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having generally rigid walls defining an elongated terminal-receiving passageway. At least one latch wall is disposed within and extends longitudinally of the passageway. The latch wall defines opposite longitudinal edges thereof, with one longitudinal edge being integrally joined to the generally rigid walls of the housing. The other longitudinal edge of the latch wall is free and projects into the passageway for transverse flexing about the one joined edge. A latch shoulder is provided on the latch wall at least on a flexing portion of the wall. A terminal is adapted to be inserted into the passageway. The terminal has a latch shoulder for snapping behind the latch shoulder of the latch wall to prevent removal of the terminal from the passageway.
