Patent ID: 7004791

Claim:
A connector housing, comprising: a pivoting part; and a base part; the pivoting part and the base part defining a receiving space and a contact chamber, configured to receive a contact; the contact chamber having an insertion opening in communication with the contact chamber; the insertion opening being surrounded by a delimiting surface, with one portion of the delimiting surface being formed by the pivoting part and another portion of the delimiting surface being formed by the base part; wherein a latching hook is provided in the contact chamber adjacent to the receiving space for latching the contact inside the contact chamber, the latching hook being integrally formed with the connector housing; the pivoting part and the base part abut against one another by way of abutment surfaces proximate the delimiting surface such that the latching hook is displaceable into the receiving space; and the pivoting part and the base part are integrally formed, such that during the molding procedure the pivoting part is located in an open position in which the abutment surfaces of the base part and the pivoting part are spaced apart, and that after the molding procedure while the mold material is still in a not yet fully cured condition the pivoting part is moved into a closed position in which the abutment surfaces of the base part and the pivoting part approach one another.
