ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a transversal partition formed with mutually parallel passages for receiving electrical terminals, and a retention plate insertable into the housing up to a front position in which it is retained against the partition. The plate is formed with terminal-receiving holes distributed in the same array as the passages. They extend forwardly as resilient fingers adapted for snap-fastening connection with the terminals. The fingers are adapted to the shape of the passages so that they can penetrate into a passage and be retained therein in the position where they hold the terminals when the retention plate is in its front position. Each hole is formed with a rearwardly-directed shoulder for abutment with a corresponding step on the respective terminal. The abutment shoulder is placed so as to stop the terminal in the position where the fingers are snapped onto them.
