An electrical connector (10) has a housing (14) with at least one terminal receiving cavity (24) provided therein. A terminal (18) is positioned in the terminal receiving cavity (24) and at least one terminal retention member (16) is secured in the terminal receiving cavity (24). The terminal retention member (16) is a separate resilient member which is not integrally molded with the housing (14). A rib (68) may be provided in the terminal receiving cavity (24) to cooperate with the terminal retention member (16) to prevent the overstress of the terminal retention member (16).
