ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

An electrical connector comprises a dielectric body having a socket. A plurality of pivotable arms are hinged to the dielectric body. A releasable locking mechanism holds the pivotable arms in a locked position that releases with an outward pulling force exceeding a threshold force. The releasable locking mechanism comprises two or more latch members that are biased by corresponding springs against the corresponding pivotable arms. Each pivotable arm has a protrusion that divides a first region from a second region of the pivotable arm.

1. An electrical connector comprising:
a dielectric body having a socket; a plurality of pivotable arms hinged to the dielectric body; a releasable locking mechanism to hold the pivotable arms in a locked position that releases with an outward pulling force exceeding a threshold force; wherein the releasable locking mechanism comprises two or more latch members that are biased by corresponding springs against the corresponding pivotable arms, each pivotable arm having a sloped protrusion that extends above a surface of each pivotable arm and that divides a first region from a second region of the pivotable arm.
