ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having a breech lock is provided with a snap action or over-center spring such as a Belleville Washer. This is effective to positively bias all of the working parts of the connector into the fully mated or unmated positions. It is also effective to maintain the connector and the electrical contacts therein mated even though it may be subjected to large forces resulting from acceleration, vibration, etc., and to maintain all of the interfaces sealed even though the sealing materials may shrink, etc., from aging, etc.
