Abstract
An electrical connector includes a first insulative housing and a second insulative housing. Each housing has two lugs formed on opposite ends thereof corresponding to each other. Each lug defines a recess having a support face formed therein. Two locking members bridge between the first and second housings and engage with the lugs thereby securing the housings together to form the connector. Each locking member has a base section and two retention sections formed on opposite ends thereof. The retention sections of the locking member are received in the corresponding recesses of the housings. Each retention section has a resilient barb engaging with the corresponding support face. Preferably, each retention section has an inclined edge for facilitating insertion into the corresponding recess.
