An electrical connector comprising a first moulded synthetic resin body part (11) for receiving first electrical terminals, said first body part including at one end thereof an integral thin-walled shroud (14), a second moulded synthetic resin body part (12) for receiving second electrical terminals interengageable in use with said first electrical terminals, said second body part (12) having an end region (19) which, when the first and second body parts are interengaged, is received within said shroud (14) of said first body part (11), first and second latch members on said second body part, said first and second latch members (26, 27) extending externally of said shroud (14) when said first and second body parts (11, 12) are interengaged, first and second external projections (17, 18) on said shroud (14), said first and second external projections (17, 18) being engageable in use with said first and second latch members (26, 27) respectively, and, localized ramp means (28, 29) on said end region (19) of said second body part (12), said ramp means (28, 29), when said first and second body parts are interengaged, coacting with the inner surface of said shroud (14), to ensure that at least those portions of the shroud (14) carrying said first and second projections (17, 18) are so positioned to the second body part (12) that said first and second projections (17, 18) can coact with said first and second latch members (26, 27) to afford a latching action. |
