Abstract
An electrical connector in which a front piece fixing terminals in the preliminarily locked stage does not unintentionally move to the fully locked stage. In the electrical connector, the front piece fixing terminals C slidably attached, in the axial direction of the connector, to a connector housing A at the fore portion thereof; in the preliminarily locked stage of the front piece fixing terminals with the connector housing A, the front piece C allows a resilient plate 7 on a terminal accommodation slot to deflect to cause a terminal B to be inserted into a terminal accommodation slot 1; in the fully locked stage of the front piece C with the connector housing A, the front piece C prevents the resilient plate 7 from deflecting to maintain the terminal B in the terminal accommodation slot 1, wherein an operating portion 24 attached to a free end of the front piece C is provided with a main locking resilient arm extending in the opposite direction to the connector housing A and a main locking projection 25 is formed on a main locking resilient arm 24.
