ABSTRACT:
A locking device serves to prevent connected receptacle and plug connectors from disconnecting due to external forces. The receptacle and plug connectors have substantially insulating blocks respectively supporting contacts to be connected when the receptacle and plug connectors are connected. The locking device includes anchoring recesses outwardly opening formed in outer surfaces of ends of one of the shells positioned inwardly of the other shell when connected, notches formed in ends of the other shell and positioned correspondingly to the anchoring recesses, locking pieces fixed in a hood of the other shell and extending toward the other shell, and engaging hook-shaped projections formed on the locking pieces and extending inwardly of the shell. The connected receptacle and plug connectors are to be locked so as to be prevented from disconnecting by fitting the engaging hook-shaped projections in the anchoring recesses. Miniaturization of the connector including the locking device is accomplished.
