  • Electrical connector latching mechanism
    Patent number: 4838807
    Abstract: A latching mechanism to latch matable electrical connectors together comprises first and second electrical connectors (10,20) for matable engagement with one another, the first connector (20) having a projection (21) engageable with a tapered section (17) of a slide (15) extending along a wall of a housing (11) of the second connector (10) when the first connector is inserted into an opening (12) of the second connector (10), the slide (15) being biased in one direction by a spring (14). The slide (15) is moved in another direction upon further insertion of the first connector (20) into the opening (12) until the projection (21) moves beyond the tapered section (17) into a recess (18) whereupon the slide (15) moves back to the one direction under the influence of the spring (14) thereby latching the connectors (10,20) together.
