ABSTRACT:
An electric connector with a terminal conductor detaining mechanism for restraining terminal conductors from slipping out of the electric connector. The electric connector comprises: a connector shell having a plurality of terminal chambers and provided with a pair of flexible, temporary locking strips and with a pair of main locking parts; and a terminal conductor detaining member provided with a plurality of terminal conductor detaining fingers and a pair of flexible locking arms. The terminal conductor detaining member is combined temporarily with the connector shell with the fexible locking arms thereof engaging the flexible locking strips of the connector shell, respectively, to keep the connector shell and the terminal conductor detaining member in a temporarily combined state. The terminal conductor detaining member is combined completely with the connector shell by pressing the terminal conductor detaining member into the connector shell so that the locking arms engage the main locking parts of the connector shell, respectively. In pressing the terminal conductor detaining member into the connector shell to combine the terminal conductor detaining member and the connector shell in a completely combined state, the flexible locking strips must be pressed forcibly to allow the terminal conductor detaining member to move further into the connector shell. Thus, the accidental complete combination of the terminal conductor detaining member and the connector shell is prevented.
