ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (20,60) includes rows of chambers (36) into which contacts (26) are held seated in place in such chambers through internal lances (58) and a double-locking device (24) inserted through an opening (40) in a wall of the housing (22) of the connector. The locking device (24) includes latches (52) which cooperatively engage depressions (50) to establish a first locking position allowing contact insertion and further latches (56) which engage interior walls (54) to establish a second locking position upon final insertion of the device (24) into the housing (22). Improper contact insertion and seating precludes operation of the locking device (24) as a visible indication of improper insertion. Proper insertion of locking device (24) assures a double-locking against contact backout and provides primary and secondary retention of contacts in the connector.
