ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes passageways for receiving electrical terminal contacts. The electrical terminals are primarily locked in their cavities by way of locking lances on electrical terminals engaging with locking shoulders in respective passageways. The electrical terminals are secondarily locked in their passageways by way of a locking member which has first and second latching elements positioned along straps, the latching elements providing a first latching position on rails and the second elements providing a second fully locked position. The locking member is axially slidable rearwardly to a position where locking members are positioned above respective openings and the secondary lock member can be pushed downwardly such that the locking members are positioned behind the electrical terminals for secondary locking.
