  • Publication number: 20230402789
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing, a terminal arranged in the housing, and an elastic cantilever on an outside of a top wall of the housing and extending along a length direction of the housing. The elastic cantilever has a pair of sides opposite to each other in a width direction of the housing. A snap protruding along the width direction is formed on one of the sides of the elastic cantilever. The snap engages a mating snap formed on a mating housing of a mating connector to lock the connector and the mating connector together.
