Electrical connector with adjustable terminals

An electrical connector comprising:

• a terminal housing;
• a first terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing;
• a second terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing;
• a first flexible bus bar connected to the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the first terminal is able to be moved independently of the second terminal;
• a third terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing;
• a fourth terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing;
• a second flexible bus bar connected to the third terminal and the fourth terminal, wherein the third terminal is able to be moved independently of the fourth terminal;
• a first terminal guide attached to an outer surface of the first terminal, a second terminal guide attached to an outer surface of the second terminal, a third terminal guide attached to an outer surface of the third terminal, and a fourth terminal guide attached to an outer surface of the fourth terminal;
• and
• a terminal retainer attached to the terminal housing, wherein the first terminal guide, the second terminal guide, the third terminal guide, and the fourth terminal guide:
• extend through respective guide openings in the terminal retainer;
• are smaller than the respective guide openings;
• and
• each include a retaining flange that is larger than the guide opening.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a terminal housing;
• a first terminal with a first terminal guide attached to an outer surface thereof, the first terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing perpendicular to a terminal axis;
• a second terminal with a second terminal guide attached to an outer surface thereof, the second terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing perpendicular to the terminal axis;
• a third terminal with a third terminal guide attached to an outer surface thereof, the third terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing perpendicular to the terminal axis;
• a fourth terminal with a fourth terminal guide attached to an outer surface thereof, the fourth terminal retained in the terminal housing for movement relative to the terminal housing perpendicular to the terminal axis;
• a first flexible bus bar connected to the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the first terminal is able to be moved independently of the second terminal;
• a second flexible bus bar connected to the third terminal and the fourth terminal, wherein the third terminal is able to be moved independently of the fourth terminal;
• and
• a terminal retainer attached to the terminal housing;
• wherein the first terminal guide, the second terminal guide, the third terminal guide, and the fourth terminal guide extend through respective guide openings in the terminal retainer and wherein the first terminal guide, the second terminal guide, the third terminal guide, and the fourth terminal guide are smaller than the respective guide opening and each includes a respective retaining flange that is larger than the guide opening.
