发明名称 Cable end retention clip
摘要 A connector assembly is provided having a cable end plug with a body adapted to be connected to a cable with a connector part, and at least one outwardly extending flange on the body. A mating receptacle receives the cable end plug. The receptacle has a body with a complementary connector part to the cable end plug connector part. A retention clip is connected to the receptacle body, and includes at least one spring arm extending outwardly therefrom with a distal entry ramp portion, a retaining shoulder portion and a flange receiving portion. A thickness of the flange is approximately equal to a depth of the flange receiving portion so that the retaining shoulder portion engages behind the flange in a connected position of the cable end plug in the mating receptacle. For release, the retaining shoulder can be set at an angle of at least 94° to the flange receiving portion to form a release ramp that allows disengagement when a sufficiently high predetermined release force is applied to the cable end plug. Alternatively, the retaining shoulder is set at about 90° and ejector tabs are provided on the cable end plug to disengage the spring arms.
