ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector housing comprises a housing member (20) of dielectric material having passageways (22, 24) extending therethrough in which electrical terminals (50, 60) are disposed. Integral flap members (10, 10') are hingedly located adjacent a back end of the housing member (20) and they include projections, (11, 12') for engaging and maintaining the terminals (50, 60) in the respective passageways (22, 24) when the flap members (10, 10') are in their latched closed positions. Hook members (13) are located on the flap member (10) adjacent the projections (11) and they include hooks (14) that engage inner surfaces of the passageways (22) to prevent the flap member (10) from deflecting outwardly when forces are applied to the terminals (50) that are opposite to the direction of insertion of the terminals (50) in the passageways (22).
