ABSTRACT:
A locking latch mechanism for an insulation displacement connector comprises a cap section including a biasing member, a base section and a latch member. The cap section is movable between an open position and a closed position. The base section is hingedly connected to the cap section and includes a latch retaining portion. The latch member is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position such that the latch member maintains the cap section in the closed position when the latch member is in the engaged position. The latch member includes a latch engaging portion which is lockingly matingly engaged with the latch retaining portion to lock the latch in the engaged position, thereby maintaining the cap section in the closed position. The biasing member is tensioned by the base section when the cap section is in the closed position such that the biasing member biases the latch engaging portion so as to cause it to remain locked in the engaged position, thereby maintaining the latch in the engaged position.
