ABSTRACT:
A cooperating primary and secondary lock means used in combination with a pair of matable electrical connector bodies both assures that the connector bodies have reached the fully mated position, and double locks them together. Keeper projections on a cantilevered primary locking arm of the first connector body are engaged by the camming end of a rotatable secondary locking arm on the second connector body. This pulls the connector bodies together, if they were not fully mated, and as the camming end snaps beneath the keeper projections, full mating is indicated. The secondary locking arm thereby also captures the primary locking arm to provide a double lock.
