ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector assembly having deflectable retaining fingers for mating with a corresponding connector assembly. Each assembly has at least one electrical terminal housed inside a hollow body adapted to enclose and support the terminal. The body has a separate passage intersecting the cavity in which the terminal resides. In addition, the hollow body has at least one wall section having a deflectable finger engaging and retaining the terminal within the cavity. A removable terminal retainer member is inserted into the passage to a position in which the member is in an interference relation with a portion of the terminal to retain the terminal within the cavity. The terminal retainer also has a wedge leg that, when inserted against the wall section, retains the deflectable finger in engagement with the terminal.
