ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided. The connector can include a first housing that can define a bore for receipt of a first electrical terminal. The first housing can have an outer housing and an inner housing. The inner housing can include a housing lock, and can be moveable relative to the outer housing to enable the housing lock to move from a locked position to an unlocked position. The connector can include a second housing, which can define a bore for receipt of a second electrical terminal. The second housing can include a ramp that engages a portion of the housing lock when the housing lock is in the locked position to move the housing lock into the unlocked position. The ramp can be retained by the housing lock in the locked position to secure the first housing to the second housing.
