ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a contact receiving cavity extending therethrough from the wire entry face to the mating face. A contact terminal contained in the cavity has a wire connecting portion at its rearward end comprising a hollow cylindrical section of the terminal. A ferrule crimped or soldered to the end of a wire is received in this cylindrical wire connecting portion of the terminal. The ferrule is retained in position by a retaining spring on the terminal which has an integral shoulder or lance that bears against the ferrule. The ferrule can be readily removed from the terminal by flexing the spring radially outwardly and disengaging the lance from the ferrule. A wire can be fitted with a replacement ferrule by the use of readily available tools if repair of the connector is required.
