ABSTRACT:
A latching arrangement for a connector is disclosed in which the cooperating latch elements are located inside the connector bodies whereby they are relatively well protected from damage. Latch levers mounted by torsion pivots on the plug ride up ramps on a center latch dog on the receptacle until latching shoulders on the levers engage catch shoulders on the dog to lock the plug and receptacle together. An interfacial seal between the plug and receptacle connector bodies urge the latching shoulders on the levers into firm engagement with the catch shoulders on the latch dog. This arrangement provides self ejection of the plug from the receptacle if the two parts are not fully mated.
