ABSTRACT:
A micro-miniature coaxial cable connector and surface mount receptacle assembly is provided that has a positive locking mechanism (60) for holding the cable connector in engagement with the receptacle without increasing the force needed to separate the connector assembly. The locking mechanism (60) has a body (62), a pair of arms (66) extending from one end of the body, and a latch (68) extending from an opposite end of the body. The body (60), the pair of arms (66), and the latch (68) are made from a spring material and are of unitary construction. The locking mechanism (60) is arranged so that when it is in locking position securing the cable plug connector (12) and receptacle (14) in assembled engagement, the arms (66) straddle a portion of the cable plug connector (12) and engage the base (26) of the housing (16) of the receptacle, the latch (68) latchingly engages one of the side surfaces (56) of the housing, and the body (62) substantially covers an opening (32) in the top surface (30) holding the cable plug connector (12) and receptacle (14) in assembled engagement.
