发明名称 Electrical connector with secondary wedge lock
摘要 An electrical connector including a basic connector shell having two female terminal receptacles inserted through one end and being lockingly engaged with the interior of the connector shell by means of tabs from the shell interior extending into mating openings in the terminal receptacles, with a secondary locking wedge member inserted through the opposite end of the shell, causing the tab-opening locking engagements to be further locked together by compressive, wedging forces directed towards the central interior of the shell. The secondary locking member at its top has two side, flexible legs having laterally extending locking protrusions which engage into mating cavities in the side, interior of the shell, effectively locking the secondary locking member into the shell. The wedge locking member and its interfacing with the interior structure of the shell forms an interior rectangular structure over which is placed a compressive sealing gasket. The rearmost structure of the secondary locking member forms in configuration a "T" which mates with two, opposed "L" shaped corner members on the interior of the shell, two laterally spaced openings being formed thereby for the insertion of the male electrical connectors to engage with the female terminal receptacles. Two integrally formed latching arms and pairs of flanking, protective, side flanges are provided on the exterior of the shell.
