ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AND HOUSING THEREOF

摘要

An electrical connector housing and a connector made of such housing are provided. The housing has a first element and a second element. The first element has one or more compartments for installing electrical terminals therein. Each compartment has a lance portion for locking the terminal. The second element has a windowed wall portion which covers the front surface of the first element. The second element can be moved relative to the first element between a first position and a second position. When at the first position, the lance portions are exposed through the windows; hence the lance portions can be accessed by a jig for being disengaged from the terminal, to allow withdrawal and replacement of the terminal. When at the second position, the windows shifted away from the lance portions, therefore the lance portions are covered by the wall portion and access to the lance portions are prevented.
