Abstract
An electrical connector housing fixable within an opening of a wall comprising an inner housing and an outer housing, characterized in that in response to relative movement between the housings resilient members which have passed through the opening are expanded outward preventing the housing from backing out of the wall, where the outer and inner housings may also include portions that define the receiving region wherein the mating connector halve must be received to be locked thereto that are only properly orientated when the housing is retained to the panel, thereby providing a through-wall housing that is easily inserted and affixed to a wall from one side thereof and preventing mating with the complementary connector half until the first connector half is locked to the panel.
