A connector having a pin guide and method are disclosed. The connector includes a housing, terminals and a pin guide. The terminals include securing sections and substrate mating ends. The securing sections are positioned to maintain the terminals in the terminal receiving recesses. The substrate mating ends extend from the housing. The pin guide is removably attached to the housing, the pin guide having terminal receiving cavities for receiving the substrate mating ends of the terminals therein. The method of assembly and installing a connector includes: inserting terminals into housing; bending a portion of the terminals which extend outward from the housing; and positioning a pin guide over the bent ends of the terminals, whereby the bent ends are retained in cavities of the pin guide.
