ABSTRACT:
An improved arrangement for retaining a terminal in a terminal holder includes providing a mounting opening through a wall of the terminal and provides a resilient snap-lock extending from the surface of a support member of the holder. The snap-lock extends through the terminal mounting opening for preventing relative longitudinal motion of the terminal in the holder and for yieldably restricting relative motion of the terminal substantially normal to the support member of the holder. The snap-lock has two locking fingers extending in "V"-shape fashion from the support member, which is preferably the holder's base. The locking fingers include camming surfaces to facilitate mounting the terminal on the locking fingers by moving the terminal transverse to its longitudinal extent. The holder is open at its top to facilitate mounting and removal of a terminal. A connector housing may be provided to removably close that opening.
