Abstract
The electrical connector comprises a plug (12) incorporating a housing (22) and a contact-locking grid (32) designed to be inserted in the plug housing until a contact-locking position is reached, and a mounting base (10) incorporating a housing which delimits a cavity for insertion of the contact-locking grid and a drawer (14) which is inserted by force. The grid belonging to the base comprises at least one tab (60) designed to constitute a stop blocking the plug prior to engagement of the pegs in the slots in the drawer (14) when the grid in not fully inserted. This tab (60) is connected to the body of the grid by a thin part forming a hinge, which moves the plate out of the path of a plug component when the grid (32) is fully inserted.
