electrical connector with a device for lagesicherung the endkontakte

摘要

An electric connector (1) having an insulating casing (3) fittable in a longitudinal assembly direction (A) to a complementary connector and defining a number of longitudinal cavities (4) for housing respective electric terminals (5); primary retaining lances (20, 21) for retaining the terminals (5) inside the respective cavities (4) and preventing withdrawal of the terminals; and a secondary retaining device (30) having a front movable member (31) movable, in the assembly direction (A), between a preassembly position and a closed position cooperating with the primary retaining lances (20, 21) to determine correct engagement and prevent release of the terminals (5) by the primary retaining lances; the secondary retaining device (30) also has a pair of U-shaped elastic members (40) projecting from the movable member (31) and deformable, by interaction with the casing (3), between a disabling configuration in which the elastic members (40) project partially outwards of the casing (3) and prevent insertion of the connector (1) inside a receptacle of the complementary connector, and an enabling configuration reached when the movable member (31) is in the closed position, and in which the elastic members (40) are housed entirely within the outer contour of the casing (3) and permit insertion and connection of the connector (1) inside the receptacle of the complementary connector.
