DEFINITION

Classification: 439/848

Having latching detent or means operated by mating contact to lock or manipulate resilient part:

(under subclass 842) Electrical connector either (a) wherein the resilient securing member has a retaining part yieldingly urged to move transverse to the longitudinal axis of an elongated male contact telescopically inserted into the female connector so that, during the act of telescopically inserting a male contact into the female connector, the retaining part resiliently latches behind a shoulder or into a shouldered recess located in a lateral surface of the male contact, whereby the retaining part tends to prevent an inserted male contact from being withdrawn from the female connector; or (b) wherein the resilient securing member has means engageable by cooperating means on a male contact whenever it is telescoped into the female connector for maintaining the resilient securing member in its secured condition or for placing the resilient securing member into securing condition.
