Abstract

An electrical connector includes a housing that has a housing first end, a housing second end, and a housing main body that defines a recess, a recess base, a projection, a projection end, and a plurality of terminal passageways. The recess extends from the housing first end toward the housing second end and to the recess base. The projection extends from the recess base toward the housing first end and to the projection end. Each terminal passageway of the plurality of terminal passageways has an inner wall. The inner wall has an inner wall first end, an inner wall second end, and an inner wall length that extends from the inner wall first end to the inner wall second end. The inner wall tapers along a portion of the inner wall length.
