Abstract
The locking device (50) is inserted from a side surface of the housing (10) to secure contacts and has latching arms (60,62) extending outward from one end. In the position of temporary latching of the locking device, tips (60b,62b) of the latching arms project above the surface of flange (26), but they do not extend above the surface in the position of complete latching. Since the width of the latching arms (28,30,32) is almost equal to the width of the guiding grooves made in the flange (26), the locking device can be moved from the temporary latching position to the complete latching position without skewing relative to the housing.
