ABSTRACT:
A system of removably retaining a terminal (16) within a housing passageway (40) includes opposing resilient walls (46A,46B) defining a forward end of the passageway (40) with opposing stop projections (54) extending toward each other and disposed in corresponding notches (26) along first and third sides of the terminal (16), which stop axially rearward terminal movement. A bored shaft (98) of a removal tool (70) is placed over a contact section (18) of the terminal (16) extending outwardly from the housing (12), which tool (70) has a pair of triangular tines (100) at the work end of the tool shaft (98) to be disposed along second and fourth sides of the terminal (16). When the tines (100) are positioned between the walls (46A,46B) and the tool (70) is urged against the housing (12) the tapered side surfaces (104A,104B) of the tines (100) bear against portions of opposing walls ( 46A,46B) adjacent second and fourth terminal sides, locally deflecting outwardly the walls (46A,46B) and their stop projections (54) away from the terminal's first and third sides, whereafter the terminal (16) is now axially movable along the passageway (40) such as by a plunger of the tool (70) for removal.
