Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1009066A2] A connector-latching device (70) is described which can be applied even to relatively small connectors and has enough holding force effectively to prevent uncoupling of engaged connectors. It comprises a first member (72) and a second member (73) which are generally wedge-shaped. The first member (72) has an outer surface (74) for engaging a connector (30) and an inner surface (78) which serves as the latching surface and which engages with the second member (73). The latter has an outer surface (75) for engaging the connector and a latching surface (81) which engages with the inner surface (78) of the first member (72). In use, the first member (72) of the device is placed under the locking arm (34) of the connector, after which the second member (73) is pushed in to an adjacent position which results in the first and second members being wedged between opposing walls of the connector housing located on opposite sides of the locking arm. Displacement of the locking arm is thereby prevented. A cover (85) for protecting the locking arm is located on the first member (72). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
