ABSTRACT:
A connector, for example an electrical connector, comprises first and second slidably engaging portions (12) (14) having a lock (16) distributed therebetween. The lock (16) comprises a locking tongue (18) having a fixed end (20) attached to the first portion, and a free end (22) extending therefrom. First and second spaced apart side walls (28, 30) are positioned adjacent the free end. A keeper (24) is formed on the second portion, and has a roof (31 ) and first and second spaced apart side walls (34, 36), and a depending lug (38) on the interior of the keeper roof. The free end (22) of the tongue (18) is formed to engage the lug (38) on the keeper roof. A lock disabler (26) having two operative positions with respect to the locking tongue is provided. A first position allows disengagement of the free end of the locking tongue from the keeper and a second position prevents disengagement of the free end of said locking tongue from the keeper.
