  • Patent number: 12224525
    Abstract: A connector and a connector assembly are disclosed. The connector assembly can have: a first connector having a first housing on which a first latch device is formed; and a second connector having a second housing on which a first latch slot and a padlock hole are formed. When the first connector and the second connector are assembled to a pre lock position, the first latch device is locked into the first latch slot and blocked by a padlock locked into the padlock hole to prevent the first connector and the second connector from being further assembled to a final lock position. Therefore, the present invention can reliably prevent the first connector and the second connector from being accidentally matched together and improve the safety.
