Abstract
An electrical connector for wiring harnesses and other electrical devices has a lock member to hold the connector in engagement with a mating connector and a latch to guard against inadvertent release of the lock member. The latch is connected by means of a living hinge to a terminal retainer holding a plurality of terminals within the connector and is movable by a worker between a latched position inhibiting movement of the lock member to an unlocked condition and an unlatched position offering no obstruction to movement of the lock member. When in the latched position the latch also serves to prevent wires or other foreign objects from becoming entangled with the lock member during shipping and handling.
