Abstract

A connector (4) having a connector housing (6) with a contact passageway (12) for receiving a contact (40), an opening (64) extending into the contact passageway (12), and a secondary locking member (14) with a retention arm (58) that has a retention head (60) thereupon, where in a first position of the secondary locking member (14) the contact (40) is insertable into the contact passageway (12) and a second position the retention head (60) extends through the opening (64) into the contact passageway (12) to prevent the contact (40) from being withdrawn, the opening (64) is defined by a shoulder (66) and an overhanging supporting member (68), the retention head (64) including a retention shoulder (70) facing the shoulder (66) and an abutting surface (72) facing the overhanging supporting member (68), where upon telescopic movement of the secondary locking member (14) from the first position to the second position the overhanging supporting member (68) and the abutting surface (72) co-operate to guide the retention head (60) into the passageway (12) and engage one another if a pullout force were to be exerted upon the contact (40) in a supporting manner. Additionally, the connector (4) includes a latch (16) that has a main latch arm (20) with an abutment portion (38) that upon depression of an actuation portion (28) of the main latch arm (20) establishes a fulcrum (36) upon a mating connector (18) in order to lift the latch (16) from the catch (30).
