Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a connector housing (1) for an electrical connector (69), the housing comprising at least one terminal receptacle for an electric contact element. The invention further relates to an electrical connector (69). To provide a connector housing (1) which securely locks electric contact elements (63) inside the terminal receptacles (5) and which is fast, easy and cost-effective to manufacture, it is intended according to the invention that the housing (1) further comprises at least one terminal positioning assurance device (19) which is formed mono-lithically with the housing (1) and which is accessible from an outside (21) of the housing (1), the terminal positioning assurance device (19) having an actuator head (23), which, in an unlocked position, is spaced apart from the rest of the housing (1) and, in a locked position, is positively engaged with and protrudes into a lateral opening (25) of the housing, whereby, in the locked position, a terminal locking element (29), which is operatively coupled to the actuator head (23), protrudes into at least one terminal receptacle (5).
