INSULATOR HOUSING WITH INTEGRALLY HINGED, SNAP-IN TERMINAL LOCK A molded insulator housing of thermoplastic material for an electrical terminal or terminals comprises a plurality of walls which define a corre- sponding number of elongated cavities having an opening at one end of the insulator housing for terminal insertion. The insulator housing has a terminal lock for each cavity integrally hinged to an outward flange on its bottom wall at the one end of the insulator housing and a slot for each cavity in the bottom wall which defines an inner surface for the terminal lock and flange portions which is substantially coplanar with an outer surface of the adjacent portions of the bottom wall to facilitate the molding of the terminal lock substantially free and separate of the material in the bottom wall. The terminal lock is movable from its molded position where it projects outwardly of the bottom wall and at least as much as the flange and a second retained position in which a portion of the terminal lock passes through the slot in the bottom wall and projects into the cavity to provide a terminal lock.
