Abstract: A lock arm (12) on a female housing (1) is deformed at an intermediate stage of connecting the female housing (1) with a mating male housing (20). A lock (13) at the leading end of the lock arm (12) contacts an edge (23D) of an engaging portion (23) on the male housing (20) and then parts therefrom by canceling a rubbing state. The lock arm (12) then restores resiliently and the lock (13) engages the engaging portion (23) to lock the housings (1, 20) in a properly connected state. At least one of the lock (13) and the edge (23D) of the engaging portion (23) that rub against each other immediately before the proper connection of the two housings (1, 20) has a resistance alleviating portion (13C) with an apex locally projecting toward the other rubbed part.

Abstract: Male and female housings (10, 20) are connected and locked together by the engagement of a lock arm (22) of the female housing (20) and a lock (18) of a receptacle (12). Upon separating the two housings (10, 20), an operable portion (24) at the rear end of the lock arm (22) is operated to disengage the lock arm (22) from the lock (18), thereby canceling the locked state. Since the operable portion (24) is located in a notch (17) formed at the front end edge of the receptacle (12) with the two housings (10, 20) connected, a connector can be miniaturized with respect to a connecting direction of the two housings (10, 20).

The top plate includes bi-directionally (front and back) sloped latching protrusions which fit into matching openings defined in a complementary connector. A connector pair can be separated by pressing the top plate to lower the latching protrusions, and/or by applying a pulling force lower than a cable-damaging threshold to cause the connectors to self-release. The hinge structure can include a pair of laterally-spaced hinges separated by a central notch. The width of the central notch can be chosen to yield desired spring properties.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a separable plug connection, particularly for rectangular connectors that are composed of a shielding metal housing, a connector insert and an insulating sleeve that encompasses the metal housing, as well as a correspondingly designed mating connector. The invention proposes to arrange the encompassing sleeve in a displaceable fashion, wherein metal locking levers arranged on the metal housing are guided into a slot within the sleeve in such a way that the free ends of the metal locking levers are pressed part during a sliding movement of the sleeve. When the connector and the corresponding mating connector are connected and interlocked, this causes hooks integrally arranged on the metal locking levers to be levered out of opening arranged on the mating connector such that the locking device is released. The hooks engage into the openings when the plug connection needs to be interlocked.
