ABSTRACT:
An insulating contact carrier block is immobilized and locked in a corresding cavity of an electrical connector casing by at least one, and preferably two elastic clips. The clips are disposed respectively between the ends of the contact carrier block and the respective ends of the cavity of the casing. Each clip is of U shape, has a center web for hooking the clip on the adjacent end wall of the casing cavity, and legs projecting in the same direction from the ends of the web, straddle and elastically engage the sides of the block. An elastic tab on the web engages the adjacent end of the insulating carrier block during insertion of the block into the cavity, and snaps over a stop shoulder on the block to lock the block in its seated position in the cavity. Free ends of the legs of the clip engage stepped shoulders on the cavity side walls to prevent unhooking of the web from the end wall of the cavity.
