ABSTRACT:
The electric connector of this invention comprises: a housing containing an array of terminal accommodating chambers for receiving terminals; and a rear holder having openings that correspond to rear openings of the terminal accommodating chambers, the rear holder being fitted between side walls formed at the rear of the housing.
The housing and the rear holder include means which provisionally lock the rear holder when the rear holder is inserted into the rear portion of the housing to the position where its front surface comes into contact with the rear surface of the housing and the corresponding openings of the rear holder and the housing virtually align with each other. The housing and the rear holder also include means which, when the rear holder is slid from the provisional engagement position to the final assembly position in constant surface contact with the housing, fully locks the rear holder at this final assembly position.
Since the rear holder in the provisional engagement position and the housing are in surface contact, with no gap between them and with the corresponding openings virtually aligned, the terminal can be smoothly inserted and the rear holder can be slid to the full engagement position in a single-step procedure.
