Abstract

An electric connector (1) having an insulating casing (2) defining a number of cavities (3) for housing respective electric terminals (4) and having respective axes parallel to a mating direction (A) in which the connector (1) mates with a complementary connector; primary retaining means (30) for retaining the terminals (4) inside the respective cavities (3); and secondary retaining means (31) for determining correct engagement of the terminals (4) by the primary retaining means (30), and preventing release of the terminals; the secondary retaining means (31) include a movable member (32) which engages the casing (2), in the mating direction (A), in a first operating position, and which is movable, in a direction (B) crosswise to the mating direction (A), from the first operating position to a final second operating position in which it cooperates with the terminals (4) to prevent withdrawal of the terminals from the cavities (3).
