Abstract
An electrical connector includes a locking key having branches that slide in a female housing member. The branches include ramps to receive studs on a male housing member. The edge of the branches includes a strip with a lug engaged in an opening in the member which has a tongue with a protuberance on it to immobilize the lug in the opening when the key is in a ready position and which can be retracted when the key is pushed towards a locked position.
