Electrical connector assembly having locking device

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (1) includes a first connector (2) and a second connector (3) engageable with the first connector. The first connector has a first dielectric housing (20) defining a pair of receiving spaces (202), a number of first terminals (22) received in the first housing and a pair of latches (24) retained in the receiving spaces. Each latch includes a retaining portion (242), an intermediate portion (243) connecting with the retaining portion and a spring portion (26) extending from the intermediate portion. The second connector comprises a second dielectric housing (30) defining an engaging portion to engage with the spring portion and a number of second terminals (32) received in the second dielectric housing and electrically connecting with the first terminals.
