An electrical connector is provided with terminals (30) that are movable relative to the connector housing (2). The terminals (30) are provided in terminal receiving housings (34) and are secured therein. The terminal receiving housings (34) are configured to receive various types of terminals therein. The terminal receiving housings (34) are provided in the electrical connector housing (2) in such a way as to prevent the removal of the terminal receiving housings (34) from the electrical connector housing (2), while still permitting the terminal receiving housings (34) to move relative to the connector housing (2). This movable mounting of the terminal receiving housings (34) in the electrical connector allows the terminal receiving housings (34) to compensate for misaligned or bent mating terminals (56) which are inserted therein. The movement of the terminal receiving housings (34) insures that the longitudinal axis of the terminals (30) provided in the terminal receiving housings (34) will align with the longitudinal axis of the mating terminals (56) when insertion occurs. This alignment prevents damage to either the terminals (30) or the mating terminals (56) and insures that a positive electrical connection will be effected.
