Patent attributes
An electrical connector includes a housing having opposing upper and lower surfaces and opposing rear and front surfaces. The housing has a recessed member provided with a plurality of contacts arranged in at least one row that extend from the rear surface toward the front surface of the housing. A lance block is inserted into the housing from the bottom surface. The lance block has elastic lances corresponding to the contacts that engage the contacts to primarily lock the contacts in the housing. A side retainer is inserted into the housing from the bottom surface. The side retainer presses the lance block toward the front surface when the side retainer is moved from a temporary locking position into a main locking position to lock the lance block in the housing. The side retainer secondarily locks the contacts in the housing in the main locking position.
