ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is shown having a housing and a secondary lock member which is movable between a terminal insertion position and a terminal lock position. A primary locking latch of the connector housing is defined by an arch-shaped member having upstanding posts which flank the terminal receiving passageway and have a depending cantilever latch arm extending forwardly therefrom and extending into the terminal passageway. The latch is resiliently movable in multiple directions during the terminal insertion, as the posts can be movable in a longitudinal direction while at the same time the latch arm can be resiliently moved in a cantilevered beam fashion depending from the arch member. The slidable secondary lock is moved into a position behind the arch member, and secondarily locks the terminal in place, while at the same time provides a backup to the arch members of the locking latch.
