ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing having a plurality of generally parallel elongated terminal-receiving cavities. An opening is formed in a side wall of the housing intersecting the cavities and communicating therewith. A plurality of elongated terminals are insertable into the cavities. Each terminal includes a latching projection. A terminal retainer is positionable in the opening in a direction transverse to the cavities. The retainer includes a plurality of elongated ribs projecting into the cavities and engaging the elongated terminals. At least certain ends of the elongated ribs include camming surfaces for engaging the latching projections on the terminals and moving the terminals to fully inserted positions in the event that the terminals are in only partially inserted positions.
