ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed with a dielectric housing having a through passage for receiving a female terminal which includes a terminating end for engaging a conductor and a mating end for receiving a male terminal. A resilient locking arm is formed on the housing and is adapted to engage a locking surface on the female terminal for locking the female terminal in the passage. The locking arm is located for engagement by the male terminal upon entering the passage to prevent the locking arm from disengagement with the locking surface.
