ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing having a terminal-receiving chamber. When a terminal is fully inserted in the chamber, the terminal is lockingly engaged with an elastic retainer arm mounted within the chamber, so that the terminal is prevented from withdrawal from the chamber. A spacer is inserted into the chamber so as to be received in a space formed between the retainer arm and an inner surface of the chamber. The spacer is elastically deformable by the housing when the spacer is inserted into the chamber. The terminal is engageable with the retainer arm to elastically deform the same to reduce the space when the terminal is incompletely inserted in the chamber, so that the spacer in its deformed condition is prevented from being inserted into the space.
