Abstract: Electrical connector, the two parts (1, 2) of which each comprise, in a housing (5, 8), an insulator divided into a front part (6, 9) and a rear part (7, 10) which are provided with retaining means (23) for the contacts (3, 4) and with means (15) for securing the retaining means (23) in the plugged-in position of the contacts (3, 4). The two parts (6, 7; 9, 10) of the insulator of the two connector parts (1, 2) may be injection moulded from plastic, without any remachining.

Abstract: Electrical connector with interlock, including a first part carrying at least one contact and a second part carrying at least one contact, each part having a housing in which the corresponding contact is held. An axially movable locking ring is mounted on the housing of the second part for locking the second part on the first part. The connector includes a retainer that retains the locking ring in the retracted position on the housing of the second connector part, a member for blocking the locking ring in the retracted position at the commencement of the fitting together of the housings of the two parts, a member for eliminating the effect of retaining the locking ring, a member for snap-fastening the two housings one on the other and unblocking the locking ring at the end of the fitting together of the two housings, and a member for locking the two housings in a snap-fastened position as a result of the axial advance of the locking ring.
