ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has a body of rectangular cross-section of insulating material and is formed with two rows of passages parallel to a plugging direction and receiving respective contact terminals. Each passage has side walls which are parallel to the rows and are cut out to form detents whose resilience tends to bring them into a position where they project into the respective passage and where they retain the respective contact terminals. A front retaining plate bears against a front end face of the body and is provided with resilient retaining fingers arranged for engaging the body. A locking grid has two side flanks that are spaced apart so as to straddle two faces of the body and to prevent the detents from flexing away from the positions in which they project into the passages. The grid has tabs for latching on two other faces of the body for holding an end wall of the grid against the front retaining plate.
