ABSTRACT:
A electrical connector includes a dielectric housing member for mounting a plurality of terminals. A cover member is engaged with the housing member and combines therewith to define an interior cavity for receiving thereinto a plurality of electrical wires for termination to the terminals. Latches are interengaged between the dielectric housing member and the cover member to hold the members together. The latches include an elongated flexible latch arm projecting from one of the members through the interior cavity into locking engagement with the other member. An open-sided protective silo projects from the one member into the interior cavity alongside the elongated latch arm. The arm is flexible into and out of the open side of the silo. Therefore, the silo protects the elongated flexible latch arm and prevents over-flexing thereof.
