Patent ID: 7780485

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a terminal having a tab that protrudes from a side of the terminal; and a connector body having a cavity that is constructed to receive the terminal, having a rail that protrudes into the cavity, and having a knob that protrudes into the cavity at a position that is adjacent the rail, wherein, when the terminal is received in the cavity, the tab bears against the rail to help prevent the terminal from being withdrawn out of the cavity, and the tab bears against the knob to help prevent the terminal from being moved in a forward axial direction within the cavity; wherein the tab includes a first tab that protrudes from one side of the terminal and includes a second tab that protrudes from an opposite side of the terminal, wherein the rail includes a first rail that protrudes into the cavity and includes a second rail that protrudes into the cavity at a position that is opposite the first rail, wherein the knob includes a first knob that protrudes into the cavity at a position that is adjacent the first rail and includes a second knob that protrudes into the cavity at a position that is adjacent the second rail, and wherein, when the terminal is received in the cavity, the first and second tabs respectively bear against the first and second rails to help prevent the terminal from being withdrawn out of the cavity, and the first and second tabs respectively bear against the first and second knobs to help prevent the terminal from being moved in the forward axial direction within the cavity.
