Abstract
An electrical connector reduces backlash of the retainer in a main locking state and increases the rigidity of the front plate of the retainer, while providing dimensional stability, and preventing warpage of the locking arms. The electrical connector comprises a front insertion retainer that is locked to the housing in a temporary locking position and in a main locking position. The retainer comprises a front plate having contact passage holes, and locking arms extending rearward from the upper and lower ends of the front plate. A strip extends in the direction of length and protrudes rearward from the center on the back surface of the front plate, and a recessed groove extends on the front surface of the front plate in a position corresponding to the strip. The housing has a recessed groove that mates with the strip when the retainer is in the main locking position.
