ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a connector housing having a passageway extending therethrough in which a terminal housing is disposed. The terminal housing engages a stop surface in the passageway limiting the forward movement of the terminal housing in the passageway. A retaining member has a transverse section seated in an aperture in the connector housing. Retaining legs extend outwardly from the transverse section and inwardly into the connector housing passageway into engagement with a transverse rib on the terminal housing to retain the terminal housing in position in the passageway against the stop surface. Spring legs and projections extend outwardly from the retaining member and engage an inside surface of the connector housing adjacent the aperture thereby retaining the retaining member in position in the aperture and on the connector housing and the spring legs coupled with the retaining legs providing spring operation for the retaining member.
