Abstract

An electrical connector including a moulded synthetic resin body (11) having therein a plurality of parallel passages (12) receiving respective electrical terminals (13). The termin­ als (13) are inserted into their respective passages from a rear end of the body, and each terminal includes integral latch means intended to co-operate with the body to resist withdrawal of the terminal from its respective passage in a direction opposite the direction of insertion. Each terminal (13) further includes an abutment (24), and the connector includes a terminal retainer (15) engageable with the body, said terminal retainer when engaged with the body, co­ operating with said abutments (24) of said terminals to prevent withdrawal of said terminals from their respective passages The terminal retainer (15), when engaged with the body, embraces the rear end region of the body, wall portions (16) of the retainer (15) extending along opposite outer walls of the body from the rear end of the body towards the front end and engaging beneath undercut shoulders (17a) of said walls of the body, whereby rearward movement of the terminal retainer (15) relative to the body (11) is prevented.
