Abstract (en)

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing (22) having a terminal-receiving passageway (24) having a latch shoulder (30) therewithin. A terminal (10) is insertable into the passageway and includes a latch arm (20) for latching behind the latch shoulder to prevent removal of the terminal from the passageway. The latch arm (20) is permanently deformable from a first, insertion position to permit insertion of the terminal into the passageway and a second, latching position transversely of the first position into engagement with the latch shoulder (30) to prevent removal of the terminal (10) from the passageway (24).
