A connector within an igniter cable, configured for attachment to the high voltage terminal of an exciter, includes a contact terminal attached to the wire within the cable, having a number of flexible contact members to engage a pin within the high voltage terminal, and a latching sleeve, with the contact terminal and the latching sleeve being installed from opposite ends of an insulating tube. Flexible latching members of the latching sleeve engage a latching surface of the contact terminal to prevent inward movement of the contact terminal within the insulating tube when the pin within the high voltage terminal is engaged.
