(57) An electric connector (1) having an insulating enclosure (3) defining a number of
cavities (4) parallel to a connection direction (A) of the connector (1) to a complementary
connector (1') and for housing respective male electric terminals (5); primary retaining
means (26) for retaining the terminals (5) inside the respective cavities (4) and
preventing withdrawal of the terminals; and a secondary retaining device (30), which
in turn has a first and a second member (31, 42) fittable to the enclosure (3) in
the connection direction (A), and having respective through seats (41, 43) engaged
in sliding manner by respective contact portions (22) of the terminals (5), and a
number of connecting members (44) for connecting the first and second member (31,
42) facing each other and so as to move, with respect to each other and in the connection
direction (A), between a first work configuration in which the first and second member
(31, 42) are parallel and a given distance apart, and a second work configuration
in which the first and second member (31, 42) are gripped together by the thrust exerted
by the complementary connector (1') engaging the connector (1).
