ABSTRACT:
The locking device 30 is intended for locking contacts 11, and is inserted in the opening 26 made in the side wall 27 of the connector housing 20, which has long and narrow openings 36 made in a back surface 31a of the lower wall 31 of the locking device 30 and extending through its entire width. Inside these openings 36, arms 37 for a fully-locked position are made as an integral part of the locking device which start from the wall in which the openings 36 are formed and extend in a longitudinal direction of the locking device 30. The arms 37 for the fully-locked position are engaged with steps 26a made inside the opening 26, thus preventing extraction of the locking device 30 from the connector housing 20. Reuse of the locking device and increased design freedom for connectors having a locking device inserted through the side wall is therefore possible.
