Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9007807A1] An electrical connector (2) has terminal receiving cavities (48) in which are provided terminals (4). Each terminal (4) has a mating end (10, 12) and a conductor receiving end (26) for receipt of a conductor (6) therein. The terminals have insulating cover means (8) which are positioned over the conductor receiving ends (26). The insulating cover means are secured to the terminals by securing means (22) which are integrally attached to the terminals. The configuration of the insulating cover means is such to eliminate air voids provided in the terminal receiving cavities (48) of the connector (2), thereby protecting the terminals from the corrosion which can occur due to the moisture provided in the air voids condensing when the connector is exposed to temperature fluctuation.
