Abstract
The electrical connector according to the present invention is capable of doubly latching a terminal inside the terminal accommodation chamber of the insulated housing, with a locking device (locking plate) additionally provided to further secure the double latched state. This arrangement checks for any improperly inserted terminals while reinforcing the hold on the terminal in place. In addition, the reliability of the electrical connection by the connector is further boosted by the device embodying the present invention.
