LATCHING CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

An electrical connector assembly that has first and second connectors. The first connector includes a main body, a locking member, and first engagement members. The locking member includes an indented portion. The second connector receives the first connector. The second connector includes a main body and a latching member. The latching member includes a biasing member and second engagement members configured to receive the first engagement members. The locking member is configured to deflect the biasing member when the first connector is inserted into the second connector such that the biasing member engages the indented portion thereby retaining the locking member in a locked position and indicating proper mating of the connectors. The latching member slides with respect to the main body of the second connector to a latched position until the second engagement members receive the first engagement members for securely mating the connectors.
