This inexpensive, small half connector includes at least one electrical terminal (usually a female contact). The half-connector body defines a hole to receive each terminal. Each terminal has at least one retaining element for engaging the half connector (e. g., a springy tang that snaps into place behind an internal flange) to retain the terminal in the half connector. Each hole has a segment of relatively large transverse dimension to receive its terminal, generally with transverse clearance about the circumference of the terminal. Each hole also has a segment of reduced transverse dimension to receive the terminal and engage the retaining element(s) of that terminal to retain the terminal. Each hole has some integral feature -- in other words, some structural element(s) integral with the half-connector body -- for centering the terminal in the large-dimension segment of the hole. Preferably the integral element includes at least two and preferably three radially inward-extending protrusions from an inner wall of the large-dimension segment of the hole. Each of these is preferably very thin, ideally about 0.2 to 0.23 millimeter thick.

Petit connecteur bon marché comportant au moins une borne (généralement femelle). Le corps du connecteur définit un creux permettant de loger chaque borne. Chaque borne comporte au moins un organe de retenue (ex. : patte de verrouillage à action ressort) servant à assurer la liaison mécanique de la borne dans le connecteur. Chaque creux comporte un segment de dimension transversale relativement importante pour loger la borne, généralement avec un certain dégagement à la circonférence de la borne. Chaque creux comporte également un segment de dimension transversale réduite pour loger la borne et recevoir l'organe de retenue de la borne. Chaque creux comporte des caractéristiques intégrales -- en d'autres termes, des caractéristiques structurales d'assemblage -- permettant le centrage de la borne à l'intérieur du segment de grande dimension. De préférence, les caractéristiques intégrales incluent au moins deux, et de préférence trois protubérances en saillie radiale vers l'intérieur à partir d'une paroi interne du segment de grande dimension, chacune de celles-ci étant, de préférence, très mince, c'est-à-dire d'une épaisseur idéale de l'ordre de 0,2 à 0,23 millimètres.
