Abstract: A slim lock connector system comprises an inlet comprising a mating port, first and second power contacts disposed within the mating port, and a ground contact disposed within the mating port. In addition, a connector is configured to be removably engaged with and locked to the inlet via the mating port. The inlet preferably includes a locking structure and recess disposed within the mating port, and the connector preferably includes a housing, release tab, and resilient member coupled to the housing and release tab. The release tab and resilient member are configured such that pressing on the release tab enables the housing to be unlocked from the inlet.

Abstract: A coupler including a housing is configured to affix individual lines of a multiline cable within the housing, the housing including a front portion for engaging an inlet, a rear portion, and an upper portion including a raised central area and at least one lowered side area. A sliding lock including a lock housing is configured to slide over the raised central area and the at least one lowered side area and at least one spring arm affixed to the lock housing; and an outer mold configured to engage the rear portion of the housing and constrain the sliding lock within a gap formed between the housing and the outer mold. The sliding lock is configured to slide forward within the gap to engage the inlet and lock the sliding lock in place, thereby locking the connector to the inlet, and slide backward within the gap and disengage the inlet.
