The surfaces (14, 16) of the housing of two units (10,12) with mating electrical contacts (18, 20) are releasably connected by plates (48, 62) which are attached to a respective surface and have a respective connecting portion (50, 68) at an acute angle to that surface forming therewith a jaw (52, 70). Plate (62) is spring-loaded for sliding movement on surface (16) so that, on abutment of the two surfaces, it is released to retain plate (50) in jaw (70) thereby connecting the housings. The plate may be released by depressing button (102). The connector may be used for interconnecting a computer and printer. <IMAGE>
