Electrical connector including an improved terminal

摘要

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving passages. An end cap is coupled to a rear end of the housing and includes a plurality of through passages aligned with the terminal-receiving passages in the housing. A plurality of conductive terminals are insertable into the terminal-receiving passages in the housing from the rear termination end thereof through the through passages in the end cap. Each terminal includes a rear terminating end comprising a crimp section for crimping onto an electrical wire. The cross-sectional configuration of the crimp section and the cross-sectional configuration of the through passages in the end cap are such that the terminals are prevented from rotating as the crimp section passes through the through passages in the end cap.
