Abstract
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a plurality of cavities extending in an axial direction for receiving a plurality of terminals. Each terminal includes a locking shoulder. The housing includes a generally rectangular, bilaterally symmetrical opening in a side wall thereof communicating with the cavities. An elongated, generally rectangular and bilaterally symmetrical terminal retainer is positionable in the opening in the housing. The retainer has locking surfaces for engaging the locking shoulders of the terminals to hold the terminals inserted into the cavities. A tab on the housing projects into the opening at an edge thereof, and a notch is formed in the terminal retainer at a periphery thereof, for accommodating the tab to allow the terminal retainer to be positioned in the opening in only one orientation.
