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.

Plug-type connector with sleeve-type plug and socket

A wire having a conductive core surrounded by an insulation sheath is fitted to an electrical connector having a housing formed with a longitudinally extending passage and a contact part in the passage. The contact part has a front end having pair of sides adapted to flank a contact pin engaged in the passage and a rear end adapted to grip the wire with a stripped end of the conductive core extending in the front end between the sides thereof alongside the pin. An anchor lug on one of the sides engages an inner surface of the passage and retains the contact part therein. A biasing element braced between the conductive core and an opposite inner surface of the passage presses the conductive core transversely against the pin.
