Abstract
A conductive terminal adapted to be installed in an insulative housing of a connector comprises a mating portion located at a front of the terminal for engaging with a terminal of a mating connector, and a crimping portion located at a rear of the terminal for crimping to a wire. A blocking portion of the terminal is located between the mating portion and the crimping portion and engages with the insulative housing to constrain the movement of the conductive terminal in the housing in a longitudinal direction and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

A conductive terminal for installing into an insulative housing of an electrical connector, comprising:
- a mating portion located proximate a front of the conductive terminal for engaging with a corresponding terminal of a mating connector;
- a crimping portion located proximate a rear of the conductive terminal for crimping to a wire;
- and
- a blocking portion extending from the terminal and arranged between the mating portion and the crimping portion for engaging with the insulative housing to constrain the movement of the conductive terminal within the insulative housing in a longitudinal direction and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
A connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing;
- and
- a conductive terminal installed within the insulative housing, the conductive terminal comprising:
- a mating portion located at a front of the terminal for receiving a terminal of a mating connector;
- and
- a blocking portion engaging with the insulative housing to constrain the movement of the conductive terminal within the insulative housing in a longitudinal direction and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
