Connector structure provided with latch means

Abstract

Abstract A connector assembly (1,45;2) comprising a plug-in connector (1,45) and a socket connector (2). The plug-in connector (1,45) is provided with a lever-type locking element (5;15;25;40) having two free ends. At one free end an outwardly projecting pawl-type latching element (8;18;28;41) is disposed, while the other free end is designed as a gripping end (5 min ;15 min ;25 min ;40 min ). The socket connector (2) is provided with a slot-type opening or recess (9), so that when the plug-in connector (1,45) is pushed into and mates with the socket connector (2), the latching element (8;18;28;41) engages the slot-type opening or recess (9), from the inside (2 min ) of the socket connector (2), thereby latching the connectors (1,45;2). The lever-type locking element (5;15;25;40) is provided with two pivot points (6,7;16,17;26,27;42,44) so that by exerting a gripping force on the gripping end (5 min ;15 min ;25 min ;40 min ) of the locking element (5;15;25;40) towards the housing of the plug-in connector (1,45), the connectors (1,45;2) can be disconnected.
