ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism for a male/female connector system comprises a flexible locking arm formed on a connector housing. The locking arm has formed at its free end a locking projection which lockingly engages a shoulder on a mating connector housing. The locking arm and locking projection lie below the fulcrum of the locking arm with respect to the connector housing. When forces tending to separate the mated connector housings are applied thereto, a moment is created acting on the locking arm in a direction to strengthen the engagement between the locking projection and the shoulder.
