ABSTRACT:
In a connector with a locking mechanism an insulator body having contact pins is disposed in a cylindrical metal cover having a tongue formed integrally therewith by cutting a U-shaped groove in its forward portion. The tongue has in its front end portion a radially outward protrusion for locking use formed integrally therewith. An elastic piece is slidably disposed in contact with the underside of the tongue, the rear end portion of the elastic piece projecting out of the metal cover through a slot made therein and coupled as a unitary structure with a drive member mounted on the outside of the metal cover. The rear end portion of the metal cover is covered with a metal shell, and a coiled spring is interposed between the metal shell and the drive member, thereby biasing the elastic piece forwardly. A cable connected to the contact pins is led out through the metal shell, and a bush of a synthetic resin material is formed on the rear end portion of the shell and the adjoining portion of the cable. A cylindrical unlocking member is mounted on the outside the coiled spring, the shell and the forward portion of the bush. By pulling back the unlocking member, the elastic piece can be slid back relative to the tongue.
