ABSTRACT:
A releasable locking connector wherein the terminals are locked in place by a retainer which has an engagement position and a release position. In the former, a portion of the retainer bears against the rear of the terminals so that they cannot be removed. Also, a lance is provided on the terminals which bears against a stop surface of the housing. To permit removal of the terminal, a tool opening is provided so that the lance can be depressed to a position in which it no longer abuts the stop surface. When the retainer is in the engagement position, a closure thereon overlies the tool opening, thereby preventing entry of unwanted foreign material.
