SEALED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical connector (12) includes a dielectric housing (22) having at least one terminal-receiving passage (42) extending in a terminal-insertion direction. A pair of grooves (52) are respectively formed in side walls of the passage and extend in the terminal-insertion direction. A condutive terminal (28) having side wall (64) is inserted into the passage. A pair of smooth outwardly extending projections (68) is formed on the side walls for riding in the grooves in the side walls of the passage. A locking shoulder (6ß) is spaced from the projections a distance greater than the given distance, whereby the front contact end of the terminal can be inserted into the passage only when the top walls of the terminal and the passage are juxtaposed to align the projections on the terminal with the grooves in the passage.
