ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving passages. A plurality of terminals are inserted into the passages in an insertion direction. The terminals have tool-engaging surfaces on opposite sides thereof, exposed opposite the insertion direction, for engagement by appropriate terminal-engaging tooling. The terminals have outwardly spaced, inwardly facing retention surfaces for engaging outwardly facing retention surfaces of the housing for establishing a press-fit to retain the terminals in the housing. Surrounding walls are not required to hold the terminals in the housing.
