ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector, particularly adapted for use in motor vehicles, having an outer wall, a housing cap adapted to cover the front end of the housing, and one or more wire assemblies each having a terminal recess on the inside surface thereof. The assembly is adapted to be inserted into the housing from the rear and the housing has a corresponding number of receiving passages extending longitudinally therethrough. There is a narrowed portion of the passages which forces the assemblies being inserted outwardly against a deflectable arm in the outer wall. When the assembly is completely in place, the narrowed portion fits into the terminal recess, thereby permitting the flexible portion of the outer wall to return to its normal position. Thus, unless the assemblies are fully seated, the housing cap cannot be fitted over the housing, thereby preventing misassembly of the connector.
