Abstract
A connector system wherein a first connector () has a pair of latches () that can be depressed to release them from a pair of strikes () of a mating second connector (). A retainer () is provided that prevents accidental release of the latches. The retainer has blocking parts () that move under the latches when the retainer is slid to a forward blocking position. The first connector has a pair of radially-projecting pins () at its laterally opposite sides, and the retainer has a pair of forwardly-projecting arms () with slots () that each receives one of the pins. Each slot has a constriction () that resists sliding of the retainer away from its forward or rearward position.
