ABSTRACT:
A terminal secondary lock bar effects locking of keepers in circular grooves of terminals disposed in rows above and below a lock bar receiving cavity arranged in an interior location within the housing of a plug and a socket of an in-line environmentally sealed cable assembly. The lock bar has two outer laterally directed semi-triangularly shaped fingers and at least one rectangular shaped finger disposed therebetween. The outer fingers are flexed inwardly upon insertion until a region of the cavity provides a lock reaction to the ends of the fingers which flex outwardly into the lock region of the cavity. The outer fingers are also flexed inwardly upon removal of the lock bar from the cavity.
