A connector assembly (8) includes a connector (10) having a housing portion, first electrical terminals mounted in the housing portion for supplying electrical power, and a resilient locking member moveable between an outwardly disposed locked position and an inwardly disposed unlocked position. The locking member is biased towards the locked position. The assembly (8) includes an appliance inlet (12) having a cavity portion to receive the connector (10), second electrical terminals to contact and receive electrical power from the first electrical terminals when the connector (10) is received in the cavity portion, and a recess disposed in the cavity. The locking member is engageable with the recess thereby preventing removal of the connector (10) from the appliance inlet (12) when the connector (10) is received in the appliance inlet (12), and disengageable from the recess thereby allowing removal of the connector (10) from the appliance inlet (12) by applying a force to the locking member in a direction inwardly of the connector (10).
