ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing and a terminal. The housing has an elongated cavity with an inner end and an outer end. The height of the inner end of the cavity is less than the height of the outer end of the cavity. The terminal has an elongated base having a contact receptacle at an inner end and a conductor terminating portion at an outer end. The terminal has a first pair of opposing support sections extending upwardly from opposite lateral sides of the inner end of the base for receiving therebetween a mating contact member. A second pair of opposing support sections extend upwardly from the terminal base at a position intermediate the ends of the base. The height of the first pair of opposing support sections is less than the height of the second pair of opposing support sections and complementary to the difference in heights between the inner and outer ends of the housing cavity.
