Abstract
The present invention provides an electrical connector which is connected to wires extending from a circuit device, and which makes it possible to realize high contact reliability with mating members, and a method of assembling and connecting the electrical connector with circuit devices. Electrical wires are terminated at one end to male first terminals, the opposite ends of the wires are connected to a circuit device, and the lead out portions of the wires from the circuit device are subjected to a potting treatment. Afterward, the first terminals are accommodated inside the first housing member. The first terminals are placed in positions so as to be engaged with second terminals that have been accommodated inside the first housing member before hand. A second housing member is latched onto the first housing member and provides terminal support for the first terminals and strain relief for the electrical wires.
