ABSTRACT:
A lockable electrical connector is provided for mating and locking with a complementary connector along a mating axis. A conductive shield is positioned substantially about a housing and a plurality of terminals. A pair of latch arms are provided generally on opposite sides of the connector and are adapted for locking engagement with appropriate latches on the complementary connector. The latch arms are flexible transversely of the mating axis from locked positions outwardly to unlocked positions. A support member is slidably mounted on the assembly for movement between a first position allowing free flexing movement of the latch arms and a second position whereat integral portions of the support member are located outside the latch arms to block flexing of the latch arms outwardly to their unlocked positions.
