ABSTRACT:
A connector system is provided which enables a first connector (12), especially a rectangular one, to be quickly locked and unlocked from a second connector (14). A button (70) of a locking device (60), lies at a side (72) of the first connector housing (30), so access to it is not greatly limited by conductors (34) extending from the rear of the first connector. When the button is depressed, it operates a mechanism that allows retraction of lock balls (100) to unlock. Depression of the button causes a plunger (110) fixed to the button to move deeper into a slot (122) of a shaft (90) and to press against an inclined wall (112) at an end of the slot to move the shaft.
