ABSTRACT:
A locking device for securing first and second electrical connectors together comprises a first member and a second member. The first member comprises a mounting post received in the first connector and a spherical head extending beyond the first connector. The second member comprises a retention portion secured in the second connector and a spring arm having an engaging portion. The engaging portion is semi-bowl shaped to adapt for engaging with the head. When the first and second connectors are mated together, the head engages the engaging portion with at least a rear portion thereof abutting against a free edge of the engaging portion thereby establishing reliable engagement between the head and the engaging portion.
