Abstract

A plug-type connector has a plug-type socket, a contact holder fittable in the plug-type socket, and a cover shell engaged around the contact holder and fittable with the plug-type socket. Latch formations on the cover shell and on the contact holder secure the holder and shell together in a prelatched position with the holder only partially fitted in the shell. Thus, when the holder is fitted in the socket, the shell is to the socket and the holder is shifted in the shell into a final position fully inserted in the shell.
