  • Publication number: 20240380162
    Abstract: Reliable connectors configured for easy locking/unlocking. A connector can include a first end configured to mate with a first mating component in a first direction, and a second end configured to mate with a second mating component in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The connector can include a locking member configured to move between locked and unlocked positions by a force applied in a third direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions. Such a configuration reduces the risk of interfering with connections between the mated components when applying the force and therefore provide more reliable connectors. The connectors can include a shell with a guiding structure to reduce the risk of damage to lightweight connectors that might otherwise be damaged due to misalignment during mating/unmating.
