Angled connector and method of assembling an angled connector

A method of assembling an angled connector, comprising:

• providing a connector housing having a first terminal passage and a second terminal passage extending at an angle to the first terminal passage, the first terminal passage and the second terminal passage intersect one another in an intersection region;
• providing a terminal support held by the connector housing and slidable relative to the connector housing along the first terminal passage from a first position to a second position;
• providing a first terminal held in the terminal support and at least partially extending into the first terminal passage, the first terminal is closer to the second terminal passage in the second position than in the first position, and the first terminal is at least partially arranged in the intersection region in the second position;
• removably securing the terminal support in the first position by engaging a latch;
• and
• introducing a second terminal into the second terminal passage after removably securing the terminal support in the first position, the second terminal for connecting to the first terminal in the intersection region.

An angled connector, comprising:

• a connector housing having a first terminal passage and a second terminal passage extending at an angle to the first terminal passage, the first terminal passage and the second terminal passage intersect one another in an intersection region;
• a terminal support having a support collar at least partially surrounding the first terminal and a guiding collar guiding movement of the terminal support relative to the connector housing along the first terminal passage, wherein the guiding collar surrounds the support collar and a gap is formed between the guiding collar and the support collar in which a wall of the first terminal passage is at least partly received, the terminal support held by the connector housing and slidable relative to the connector housing along the first terminal passage from a first position to a second position;
• and
• a first terminal held in the terminal support and at least partially extending into the first terminal passage, the first terminal is closer to the second terminal passage in the second position than in the first position, and the first terminal is at least partially arranged in the intersection region in the second position.

An angled connector, comprising:

• a connector housing having a first terminal passage and a second terminal passage extending at an angle to the first terminal passage, the first terminal passage and the second terminal passage intersect one another in an intersection region;
• a terminal support held by the connector housing and slidable relative to the connector housing along the first terminal passage from a first position to a second position, wherein the terminal support extends over less than half of the first terminal on a half of the first terminal opposite the second terminal passage;
• and
• a first terminal held in the terminal support and at least partially extending into the first terminal passage, the first terminal is closer to the second terminal passage in the second position than in the first position, and the first terminal is at least partially arranged in the intersection region in the second position.
