ABSTRACT:
A preloaded electrical connector is described which comprises a housing having a mating face, a wire entry face, and cavities extending through the housing and between the faces. A contact terminal is contained in each of the cavities and each terminal has a wire connecting portion adjacent to the wire entry face. One of the housing sidewalls has an integral housing flap which is hinged to the housing between the faces. The housing flap is in an open condition so that rearward portions of the cavities are open. Each terminal has a channel-shaped wire connecting portion and has a clamping flap integral therewith which is also in an open condition. The clamping flap extends beside the housing flap and when the housing flap is moved to its closed position, it moves the clamping flap to its closed position. In use, wires are positioned in alignment with the channel-shaped connecting portions of the terminals and the housing flap is moved from its open position to its closed position. The clamping flap is also moved to its closed position thereby clamping the wires in the wire connecting portions of the terminals.
