Abstract (en)

An electric connector (1) having an insulating casing (3) defining a number of cavities (4) for housing respective electric terminals (5); primary retaining means (17) for retaining the terminals (5) inside the respective cavities (4); secondary retaining means (20) having a movable member (21) connectable to the casing (3) in a first direction (C) to determine correct engagement of the terminals (5) by the primary retaining means (17), and to prevent release of the terminals; and lock means (25) interposed between the casing (3) and the movable member (21) to respectively define, in the first direction (C), a preassembly position wherein the movable member (21) permits insertion of the terminals (5) inside the respective cavities (4), and a fully assembled position achievable when the terminals (5) are engaged correctly by the primary retaining means (17); the lock means (25) having at least a first and a second opening (28, 29) formed on the movable member (21), and at least one tooth (26) carried by the casing (3) and which selectively engages the first and the second.opening (28, 29) to define the preassembly position and the fully assembled position of the movable member (21) respectively; the first opening (28) and the tooth (26) defining a lock joint (31) in a second direction (B) opposite the first direction (C), to prevent full removal of the movable member (21) from the casing (3). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
