<p>An electrical connector (34) includes a dielectric housing (44) having a plurality of cavities (50) extending in an axial direction (D) for receiving a plurality of terminals (80). Each terminal includes a locking shoulder (92). The housing includes a generally rectangular, bilaterally symmetrical opening (56) in a side wall (58) thereof communicating with the cavities. An elongated, generally rectangular and bilaterally symmetrical terminal retainer (60) is positionable in the opening in the housing. The retainer has locking surfaces (62,64) for engaging the locking shoulders (92) of the terminals to hold the terminals inserted into the cavities. A tab (120) on the housing (44) projects into the opening (56) at an edge thereof, and a notch (122) is formed in the terminal retainer (60) at a periphery thereof, for accommodating the tab to allow the terminal retainer to be positioned in the opening in only one orientation. <IMAGE></p> |
