  • Patent number: 10574034
    Abstract: A locking mechanism (20, 22) for an electrical assembly (10). The locking mechanism (20, 22) has a detent hook (20) that is hinged to the electrical assembly (10) by a flexible detent hook web (30), and a detent hook bracket (32) that is used for deflecting the detent hook (20). Limiting structures (34, 35, 36, 37, 38) restrict mobility of the buckle bracket (32) when the detent hook (20) is deflected. The locking mechanism (20, 22) may be applied in an electrical assembly, such as terminals, distribution terminals or other electrical connection devices, fuse holders, etc., as well as switching devices such as protectors, motor protection switches and the like.
