Electrical connector for motor vehicle, has insertion chamber defined by walls of terminal receiving cavities in housing, for receiving locking element from mating end of housing

摘要

A housing (100) extending in mating direction of the connector, has terminal receiving cavities extending in longitudinal direction. An insertion chamber defined by walls of the cavities, is open towards the mating end of the housing, for receiving a locking element (180) insertable from the mating end. Several openings are provided in the cavity walls for receiving knobs (188) of the locking element after insertion in the chamber. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) self-locking screw connection assembly; (2) device for relieving mechanical tension of electrical cable; and (3) end cap for mounting on cylindrical section of component in connector.
