ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a connector body with a plurality of terminal receiving cavities formed therein. Each terminal receiving cavity is defined in part by a rigid floor and opposed upright walls. A rigid lock nib extends upwardly from the rigid floor into the terminal receiving cavity. A flexible beam opposes the rigid floor, and preferably includes a terminal hold down bump extending towards the rigid floor at a location generally opposite the rigid lock nib. The connector body is constructed and arranged for receiving a female terminal in each of the terminal receiving cavities. The female terminal may include a first and second end, and a body portion therebetween. The first end is open to receive a male terminal and the second end is constructed for attachment to a wire. The body portion includes a recess or aperture formed therein, defined in part by a rigid lock edge engaging a portion of the rigid lock nib.
