Abstract

An electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a plurality of contact accommodating cavities extending from a front side to a rear side of the housing. Each of the contact accomodating cavities has a first probe receiving opening formed adjacent thereto. A retainer that is moveable between a temporary locking position and a main locking position is attached to the front side of the housing. The contact accomodating cavities are accesible through the first probe receiving openings when the retainer is in the temporary locking position, and the contact accomodating cavities are accesible through second probe receiving openings formed in the retainer when the retainer is in the main locking position.
