ABSTRACT:
An electrical assembly includes a socket member and a plug member adapted for mating with the socket member along a mating axis of the socket member. The socket member has a mating aperture having a side wall portion and a bottom wall portion. The side wall portion has a locking slot, while the bottom wall portion has at least one pin contact and at least one tab member. Each pin contact and each tab member extends from the bottom wall portion substantially parallel to the mating axis. The plug member includes a bottom surface and a resilient locking device adapted for engaging in the locking slot of the side wall portion of the socket member. The bottom surface has a socket contact aperture corresponding to each pin contact extending from the bottom wall portion of the mating aperture and a tab aperture corresponding to each tab member extending from the bottom wall portion of the mating aperture. The resilient locking device includes at least two arms which, upon application of a force to effect separation of the plug member from the socket member, spread apart for locking the plug member in the socket member and for preventing separation of the plug member from the socket member.
