A connector assembly includes a connector having a housing portion, first terminals mounted therein for supplying electrical power, and a resilient locking member moveable between an outwardly disposed locked position and an inwardly disposed unlocked position, and biased towards the locked position. The assembly includes an appliance inlet having a cavity portion to receive the connector, second terminals to contact and receive electrical power from the first terminals when the connector is received in the cavity portion, and a recess disposed in the cavity. The locking member engages the recess thereby preventing the connector's removal from the appliance inlet when the connector is received therein, and disengageable from the recess thereby allowing the connector's removal from the appliance inlet by forcing to the locking member in a direction inwardly of the connector. The locking projection includes stepped portions arranged to cooperate with the appliance inlet to provide multiple locking positions.
