ABSTRACT:
A terminal retention system is provided in an electrical connector for terminating a conductor. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a terminal-receiving passage. A terminal is received in the passage. The passage includes an opening for access therethrough of a crimping tool, and the terminal includes a crimp section aligned with the opening for engagement by the crimping tool to deform the crimp section into crimping engagement with the conductor. A cavity is provided in the passage aligned with the crimp section of the terminal and into which the crimp section can deformably expand to retain the crimped terminal in the passage as a function of crimping the crimp section onto the conductor.
