FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of an electric connector;

FIG. 2 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view thereof along the line 4—4 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the front and right side thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a state in use thereof wherein the electric connector is coupled with a wire-harness.

The broken line showing of the wiring harness in FIG. 8 is included for the purpose of illustrating environmental structure only and forms no part of the claimed design.

A left side elevation view of the electric connector is omitted because it is presented symmetrical to the right side elevational view of FIG. 3.
