ABSTRACT:
A bushing is placed around a smaller diameter conductor wire rearwardly of an electrical terminal terminated to a conductor end, and is placed within and along a large diameter rearward passageway portion of a connector housing passageway in which the terminal is disposed and removably retained, with the bushing having an outer diameter corresponding to that of the passageway portion. The bushing prevents the rearward end of the terminal from being urged off-center when the conductor is bent at a right angle to extend along the wire exit face of the housing, thus maintaining the conductor concentrically along the entire length of the rearward passageway portion when it otherwise would assume an angle therealong and also urge the rearward terminal end off-center; the bushing thus maintains alignment of the terminal axially along the passageway to minimize potential stubbing during mating of the terminal with a mating terminal. The bushing is adapted to permit slight adjustment movement of the rearward terminal end to allow the terminal to align itself with the mating terminal during connector mating.
