Abstract
A plug connector is provided with a plurality of electrical contacts. A socket connector is provided with a plurality of electrical contacts corresponding to the electrical contacts of the plug connector. A mounting hook is provided on one of the connectors, and a cooperating holding portion is provided on the other of the connectors. The mounting hook is hooked behind the holding portion for swinging movement of the plug connector relative to the socket connector from a first position to a second position. The mounting hook and the holding portion are disconnectable from each other to permit disconnection of the plug connector from the socket connector. A snap-latch is provided on one of the connectors and a cooperating catch is provided on the other of the connectors. The snap-latch and catch are so positioned that the snap-latch engages the catch with a snap action only when the plug connector is swung from the first position to the second position thereof.
