ABSTRACT:
The invention includes an electrical connector system including a first connector component having a body portion and at least a portion of a first electrical terminal carried therein. A shoulder extends outwardly from each side of the body portion. A flexible arm has one end attached to the shoulder and extends downwardly so that a gap exists between the arm and a side of the body portion. The flexible arm includes a lock pawl on the arm's inside edge closest to the body portion. A guide rib extends outwardly from the lock pawl in a direction away from the body portion. A second electrical connector component is provided and includes a body portion carrying at least a portion of a second electrical terminal designed to be matable with the first electrical terminal. A pair of spaced apart hooked fingers extend outwardly from each side of the second body portion to define an alignment slot between the tips of the hooked fingers and a channel between the hooked fingers and the side of the second body portion.
