Abstract
A plug connector with a locking mechanism includes a housing having a body and an inserting part, a contact received therein, lock arms provided on both sides in a width direction of the housing and extending rearward in a depth direction and having protrusions provided at top ends thereof, and control arms provided on both sides in the width direction of the housing and extending forwardly in the depth direction. The control arms transmit forces working inwardly in the width direction to the lock arms. The control arms are arranged in such a way that when the inserting part is inserted into the cavity of the receptacle connector, the protrusions will be caught on the catching faces of the receptacle connector, and when the top ends of the control arms are pressed inwardly in the width direction, the protrusions will be released from the catching faces.
