The electrical connector includes an electrical terminal, a housing delimiting a chamber for receiving the terminal along a reception direction (X), successively at a reception position and at a retained position, a pawl hinged to one amongst the housing and the terminal, and a stop fixed to the other amongst the housing and the terminal. Said pawl and stop cooperate for retaining the terminal at its retained position, and said housing includes a guiding wall with guiding surface on which the terminal is pushed against by the pawl being elastically pushed back. The guiding surface comprises a raising slope inclined toward the inside of the chamber along the reception direction (X) 1 the slope being located to be climbed on by the terminal pushed from its reception position to its retained position. Application in the automotive industry.

The invention claimed is: 1. Electrical connector comprising: an electrical terminal, a housing delimiting a chamber for receiving the terminal along a reception direction (X), successively at a reception position and at a retained position, a pawl hinged to the housing, and a stop on the terminal,
The invention claimed is: 1. Electrical connector comprising: an electrical terminal, a housing delimiting a chamber for receiving the terminal along a reception direction (X), successively at a reception position and at a retained position, a pawl hinged to the housing, and a stop on the terminal, wherein: said pawl and stop cooperate for retaining the terminal in its retained position, said housing comprises a guiding wall with a guiding surface against which the terminal is pushed by the pawl being elastically pushed back, said guiding surface comprising a raising slope inclined toward the inside of the chamber along the reception direction (X), wherein the pawl and the raising slope are located relative to each other such that the terminal first comes in touch with the pawl when the terminal is at its reception position and the raising slope is located to be subsequently touched and climbed on by the terminal when the terminal is pushed from its reception position towards its retained position. 2. Electrical connector according to claim 1, characterised in that a retained gap (Gretained) is defined perpendicularly to the reception direction (X) between the terminal at its retained position and a wall opposite the guiding wall, wherein the retained gap is less than 5% of the distance between the guiding wall and the opposite wall. 3. Electrical connector according to claim 1, wherein the pawl is hinged to a wall of the housing opposite the guiding wall, and in that the stop is constituted by a back face of the terminal, according to the reception direction (X). 4. Electrical connector according to claim 3, wherein the slope ends before or at a point of the guiding wall opposite a free end of the pawl, according to the reception direction (X). 5. Electrical connector according to claim 3, wherein a reception gap (Greception) is defined perpendicularly to the reception direction (X) between the terminal at its reception position and a hinged end of the pawl, so that the terminal strikes the pawl at more than a third of the length of the pawl. 6. Electrical connector according to claim 5, wherein the reception gap (Greception) corresponds to more than 10% of the distance between the guiding wall and the hinged end. 7. Electrical connector according to claim 3, wherein the guiding wall comprises a flat reception stage, on which the terminal, lies at its reception position, a flat retained stage, on which the terminal lies at its retained position, reception and retained stages being connected by the slope, and wherein the pawl comprises a free end delimiting a contact surface for cooperating with the stop, and in that the distance perpendicularly to the reception direction (X) between any point of the contact surface and the retained stage is smaller than or the same as the size of the terminal perpendicularly to the reception direction (X). 8. Electrical connector according to claim 7, characterised in that the pawl comprises a transverse holding lug extending from the contact surface in the reception direction (X), and in that the distance perpendicularly to the reception direction (X) between the transverse holding lug and the retained stage is smaller than or the same as the size of the terminal perpendicularly to the reception direction (X). 9. Electrical connector according to claim 8, characterised in that the slope ends before or opposite a point of the guiding wall opposite a free end of the pawl, according to the reception direction (X), when the terminal lies at its retained position. 10. Electrical connector comprising: an electrical terminal, a housing delimiting a chamber for receiving the terminal along a reception direction (X), successively at a reception position and at a retained position, a pawl hinged to the housing, and a stop on the terminal, wherein: said pawl and stop cooperate for retaining the terminal in its retained position, said housing comprises a guiding wall with a guiding surface against which the terminal is pushed by the pawl being elastically pushed back, said guiding surface comprising a raising slope inclined toward the inside of the chamber along the reception direction (X), wherein the pawl and the raising slope are located relative to each other such that the terminal first comes in touch with the pawl when the terminal is at its reception position and the terminal subsequently comes into contact with raising slope, wherein the raising slope is located to be contacted and climbed on by the terminal when the terminal is pushed from its reception position to its retained position, and wherein the terminal lies at its reception position between the guiding wall and a first opposite wall with a reception gap (Greception) defined perpendicularly to the reception direction (X) between the terminal at its reception position and a hinged end of the pawl, which corresponds to about 10% or more of the distance between the guiding wall and the hinged end. 11. Electrical connector according to any claim 10, wherein the terminal lies at its retained position between the guiding wall and a second opposite wall, and in that the distance between the guiding wall and the first opposite wall is greater than the distance between the guiding wall and second opposite wall by more than 10%. 12. Electrical connector housing comprising: a chamber for receiving an electrical terminal at a reception position and at a subsequent retained position; a deflectable pawl extending into the chamber, wherein the pawl is adapted to engage a stop on the electrical terminal for retaining the terminal at the retained position; and a guiding wall with a guiding surface forming part of the chamber, wherein the guiding surface comprises a raising slope inclined toward an inside of the chamber, wherein the pawl is adapted to push the terminal against the raising slope, wherein the pawl and the raising slope are located relative to each other such that when the electrical terminal is inserted into the chamber the terminal touches the pawl at the reception position, and the raising slope is located to be subsequently touched and climbed on by the terminal when the terminal is pushed from its reception position towards the retained position. 13. Electrical connector comprising: an electrical connector housing as in claim 12; and an electrical terminal located in the chamber.
