ABSTRACT:
An improved system is disclosed for retaining electrical terminals in associated housings. The subject retention system provides captivation of terminals in a housing in such fashion that the terminals can be mass terminated by known means and can be individually removed for repair or replacement by insertion of a simple tool. The subject retention system can best be compared to a butterfly extension on the terminal and a key hole in the connector. This serves both as orienting and stabilizing means while allowing limited float to improve matability.
