Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly having a connector body and a conductive terminal disposed within a cavity in the connector body. The terminal is held within the cavity by a rigid stop tab and a flexible lock tab that engage the ends of the connector body. A flexible bias tab having a fixed end attached to the body of the terminal and a free end extending outward laterally from the body of the terminal is configured to engage an inner wall of the cavity and urge the body of the terminal into contact with an opposite inner wall of the cavity, thereby inhibiting lateral movement of the terminal within the cavity. The bias tab may further limit rotational movement of the terminal within the cavity. The bias tab and/or any other feature of the terminal do not engage a locking feature located within the cavity.
