ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector adapted to even more securely and positively hold a conventional terminal element therein such that the terminal element cannot be withdrawn from a main body portion of the connector by a pulling or tugging force. The connector comprises a main body portion having an inner upper wall portion and an inner lower wall portion. A plurality of upper bores are formed in connection with the inner upper wall portion, and a plurality of lower bores are formed in connection with the inner lower wall portion. Each of the inner upper and lower wall portions include a shoulder portion which protrudes into one of the upper or lower bores. A conventional terminal element is inserted into a front side of the connector where a portion of the terminal element abuttingly engages the internal shoulder portion of the bore in which it is inserted. A shoulder portion positively and effectively prevents the terminal element from being withdrawn by a pulling or tugging force from a rear side of the main body portion. The upper and lower shoulder portions are non-flexible and non-moving and are therefore not susceptible to breakage such as with conventional leaf beam-type latching arms.
