Connector assembly with plug, having locking features which are operatively arranged between plug housing and socket housing and are adapted to release portion of insertion path of plug housing and socket housing in rotational position

A connector, comprising:

• a housing in which a terminal hole for placing a terminal is formed,
• wherein the housing is provided with an elastic latch suitable for locking a mating housing;
• wherein when the housing is inserted into the mating housing along an axial direction of the mating housing, the elastic latch cooperates with a latch safety to hold the housing and the mating housing in a mating position;
• wherein the housing is provided with a pushing part, which is suitable for pushing the latch safety to a pre-locking position before the housing is inserted into the mating housing, so as to allow the housing to be inserted into the mating housing;
• wherein the pushing part is provided with a guide slope inclined to the axial direction, and the pushing part is adapted to contact and push the latch safety through the guide slope, so as to drive and guide the latch safety to move from a safety position to the pre-locking position along the circumference of the mating housing.

A connector assembly, comprising:

• a first connector comprising a first housing;
• and
• a second connector adapted to mate with the first connector and comprising a second housing,
• wherein the first housing is adapted to be partially inserted into the second housing along an axial direction of the second housing, and an elastic latch for locking the second housing is formed on the first housing,
• wherein a latch safety is installed on the second housing and movable along a circumferential direction of the second housing between a safety position to prevent the elastic latch from being unlocked and a pre-locking position to allow the elastic latch to be unlocked,
• wherein a pushing part is formed on the first housing and adapted to push the latch safety to the pre-locking position at which the first housing is allowed to be inserted into the second housing;
• wherein a guide slot extending along the circumferential direction is formed on the outer wall of the second housing;
• wherein a sliding plate slidably of the latch safety is installed in the guide slot, the sliding plate having a limiting part;
• wherein an opening is formed on the second housing, and the limiting part extends into the second housing through the opening,
• wherein front and rear edges of the opening in the axial direction are slidably held between the limiting part and the sliding plate to limit the movement of the latch safety in a radial direction of the second housing.
