ABSTRACT:
An auto seizing connector is provided having complimentary male and female portions. The female portion includes a movable closing collar having a converging passage that surrounds a first terminal associated with the female portion. A fitting retained within a cavity of the female portion proximate the closing collar is pressed against the closing collar as the distal end of the male portion is inserted into the cavity, causing the closing collar to move with respect to the first terminal, thereby causing the first terminal to seize or securely engage a second terminal associated with the male portion when the connector portions are fully mated.
