ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing (1) having contact-receiving passageways (2) in which electrical contacts (22) are secured by primary latch members (23) and a secondary latch member (14) is movably mounted at a rear surface of the housing (1) between said walls (3). Flexible retaining members (8) as part of the side walls (3) have ratchet teeth (8a) that engage ratchet teeth (17) in the sides of the latch member (14) to retain the latch member (14) at a contact-insertion position so that the contacts (22) can inserted through holes (15) of the latch member (14) into the passageways (2) and the latch member (14) is moved to a contact-latching position and retained there by the ratchet teeth (8a, 17) of the retaining members (8) and the latch member (14). Interengaging sections (4, 6; 11,20) of the housing (1) and the latch member (14) move the latch member (14) inwardly as it is moved from the contact-insertion position to the contact-latching position.
