ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING A MATING RECEPTACLE AND PLUG

摘要

ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY An electrical connector assembly has a receptacle and a plug having mating electrical contact members. The plug has a key or other protuberant member which is external of the receptacle. A cover on the receptacle is biased towards its closed position and has a latch member which engages the protuberant member to hold the plug against longitudinal movement relative to the receptacle. A spring clip member is attached to the plug and has a resilient portion which biases the cover towards the plug and thus increases the pressure of the cover against the plug and strengthens the lock formed by the latch member of the cover.
