ABSTRACT:
A protective shell of an electrical connector includes clip members affixed to the inside surfaces of the module-receiving cavity, with spring arms of the clips extending forwardly and inwardly to latch behind transverse ribs along the outwardly facing surfaces of the terminal modules inserted into the shell from its rearward face. Each clip includes a pair of outwardly directed tabs along lateral edges of the body section, and the tabs are inserted outwardly through associated longitudinal slits in the shell wall and then bent over along the outward surface of the shell, preferably into recesses to be flush with the outward shell surface. A pair of such clips along the upper inside surface and along the lower inside surface cooperate to retain a pair of terminal modules inserted into the shell in a manner permitting easy module removal from the shell.
