ABSTRACT:
A pull to seat electrical connector having a plurality of terminals which are pulled into cavities in an insulative housing through the mating face of the terminal is disclosed. Unterminated wires are first inserted through cavities in the housing and terminals are attached adjacent the housing mating face. When wires are then pulled, the terminals are pulled into the cavities and rotated into alignment with the cavities, so that box-shaped receptacle contact sections are properly oriented. The rear of each cavity conforms generally to the outer contour of the wires, whereas the receptacle enclosing portion of each cavity adjacent the mating face of the connector conforms generally to the receptacle configuration, such as a box-shaped receptacle contact portion. Stop fingers, extending upwardly from the terminal, engage inner shoulders to stop rearward movement of the terminals in the cavities. A retainer cap, formed of a material more flexible than the main housing, is then snapped onto the connector and attached to the mating face to prevent the terminals from being pushed out through the mating face.
