ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having a plurality of cavities extending therethrough. A retainer is inserted into the housing in its holding position, wherein insertion and withdrawal of an electrical terminal is permitted. The terminal is inserted and inclined receiving planes guide the terminal toward the center of the cavity, even in the case of misalignment. The retainer is provided with end walls which are inserted into recesses in the housing and the height of these recesses above the base of the terminal is less than the corresponding height of the terminal. This prevents the terminal from inadvertently entering the recess. As an alternative, the end walls can be extended below the base so that the advantages of larger walls can be obtained, without increasing the height thereof above the base.
