Connector and connector assembly

Abstract

A connector and a connector assembly are disclosed. The connector assembly can have: a first connector having a first housing on which a first latch device is formed; and a second connector having a second housing on which a first latch slot and a padlock hole are formed. When the first connector and the second connector are assembled to a pre lock position, the first latch device is locked into the first latch slot and blocked by a padlock locked into the padlock hole to prevent the first connector and the second connector from being further assembled to a final lock position. Therefore, the present invention can reliably prevent the first connector and the second connector from being accidentally matched together and improve the safety.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
