ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has matable dielectric connector bodies which include means for latching the connector bodies in mating engagement. One connector body has a pair of longitudinally spaced catches on one side and a bail wire pivotally mounted on an opposite side. The other connector body has a latch arm pivotally attached to one side and a projecting cam on the opposite side which has a pair of longitudinally spaced notches. The bail wire snap engages a forward notch and the latch arm snap engages one of the catches to retain the connector bodies in a preliminary latched position where the handles of the bail wire and the latch arm are moveable toward each other with one hand. The connector bodies are then mechanically assisted to a fully mated position and latched therein by moving the handles toward each other.
