A locking device for plug (32) and socket type electrical connectors (12) includes a flexible nonconductive locking pin (60) for insertion through the socket cover plate (34) and the socket body (26) of a recessed wall type socket connector member (10) or a socket connector member disposed in an enclosure which prevents insertion of the pin in a direction generally normal to the direction of engagement of the plug with the socket member. A guide tube (54) is disposed between the socket body and the socket cover plate for guiding the pin through essentially a right angle turn so that the pin may be inserted in and removed from the socket from the plane of the cover plate.
