Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal defining a pair of retaining ridges, a connector housing having a terminal cavity extending therethrough from a first opening to a second opening and a fixed terminal lock nib that projects inwardly into the terminal cavity from a rigid first wall to engage a first ridge of the pair of retaining ridges of the electrical terminal, and a terminal retainer inserted within the connector housing proximate the first opening and removably retained to the connector housing by a flexible retaining arm. The terminal retainer further includes a flexible terminal lock arm having a moveable terminal lock nib that projects inwardly into the terminal cavity from the flexible terminal lock arm to engage a second ridge of the pair of retaining ridges of the electrical terminal, thereby inhibiting removal of the electrical terminal from the terminal cavity through the second opening.
