ABSTRACT:
A locking structure for a pair of matable electrical connectors is disclosed. The locking structure includes a double ramp member formed on one of the connectors and a pair of cantilever beams formed on the other connector. The cantilever beams have cam locking surfaces and cam releasing surfaces thereon which coact with the double ramp member of the other connector to permit mating and unmating of the connectors. During mating of the connectors, the cantilever beams ride up the double ramp member to provide the forces required to ensure proper mating of the connectors. During unmating of the connectors, the cam releasing surfaces of the cantilever beams permit spreading of the cantilever beams and movement around the double ramp member so that the connectors are easily unmated.
