<p>An electrical connector (2) comprises a connector body (4) having an array (86) of terminal receiving ports (18), an electrical terminal (20) within each terminal receiving port (18), and a secondary locking member (6) mountable to the connector body (4) and having a locked position for assuring retention of the electrical terminals (20). The secondary locking member (6) has two outer arms (100a,100b) with an inner locking arm (102) therebetween, each arm having a free end (110,170) and being interconnected opposite therefrom to the adjacent ends (110,170) by a web (104a,104b). The web (104a,104b) is flexible enabling the secondary locking element to be opened to receive wires (25) extending from the terminals (20). In addition, a cover (8) is provided for use with connectors incorporating a secondary locking member (6), that interferes with the locking member (6) unless the locking member (6) is fully seated, thereby preventing full assembly of the connector (2) without the secondary lock (6) being fully seated. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
