A connector comprising first and second parts arranged for relative longitudinal push-pull movement along an axis into and out of connection with one another, the first part having a resiliently mounted retaining member and a latch comprising a resilient tine with a cantilevered end including a latch surface and a cam surface, the resiliently mounted retaining member being biased into a first position in which it prevents the tine from moving into a locking position and having a second position into which it is moved against the resilient bias by the action of mating the first and second parts, the tine being free to move into the locking position when the retaining member is in the second position, the second part having a latch surface, and one of the parts having a movable locking member with a cam surface movable over the cam surface of the latch, the cam surfaces being arranged to cooperate, in operation to move the cantilevered end of the tine against its resilience in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis into the locking position to cause the latch surfaces to engage. |
