ABSTRACT:
A rectangular electrical connector comprises a receptacle having two side walls that define two parallel passages extending in the longer direction of the receptacle and a plug displaceable with respect to the receptacle in an insertion direction. A U-shaped slide for forced insertion and extraction of the plug slides along the passages orthogonally to the insertion direction. It is formed with open-ended grooves for receiving studs projecting from the plug orthogonally to the insertion direction, having a shape such that displacement of the slide in a first direction causes the studs to move along the grooves from the open ends thereof, and displacement in the opposite direction forces the studs out of the grooves. The slide has resilient retaining lugs that project outwardly from the slide when at rest. Cut-outs are formed in the side wall of the receptacle to receive the lugs and are of a length enabling to fully insert the slide but preventing full extraction of the slide. The lugs have a shape such that the force required for pulling the slide out of the receptacle is much greater than the force required for inserting it into the receptacle.
