    Abstract: A receptacle connector includes a housing and a terminal held within a cavity of the housing. The housing includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and first and second side walls. The housing includes a first hold-down rib in a first corner region of the cavity defined by the top wall and the first side wall, and a second hold-down rib in a second corner region of the cavity defined by the top wall and the second side wall. The terminal defines a receptacle configured to receive a mating tab contact therein through a mating end of the housing. The first hold-down rib engages an outer surface of a first rolled wall of the terminal and the second hold-down rib engages an outer surface of a second rolled wall of the terminal to limit float of the terminal within the cavity.
