ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprising a wire connected terminal comprising a mating portion matable with a mating portion of another terminal of paired connectors, a wire connecting portion for connecting an electrical wire, a tongue forming portion having a pair of tongues provided at directly opposite side walls thereof extending backward and outward, and four projections provided therein in the vicinity of the rear end of the tongues spaced apart from each other in the peripheral direction such that the tongues are aligned with spacings between the projections, said wire connected terminal being housed in a terminal housing in such a manner that the tongue forming portion of the terminal is supported by top surfaces of four elongated ribs formed inside of a circle sectional aperture of the housing extending in an axial direction spaced apart and in parallel such that the four projections of the terminal may be aligned with said four elongated ribs and abut against the rear ends of the elongated ribs whereby transversal and forward movement of the terminal is prevented, while the rear ends of the tongues abut against the front shoulders of a square sectional aperture formed rearwardly adjacent to the circle sectional aperture as a result of widening of the tongues through outward urging thereof whereby backward movement of the terminal is prevented.
