Electrical connector assembly with snap locking features

An electrical connector comprising:

• a first assembly with a body;
• a second assembly with a body configured to mate with the first assembly body, the second assembly including a finger collar surrounding the second assembly body, and a locking collar rotatable on the finger collar between an unlocked position and a locked position;
• the finger collar including at least one flexible finger that flexes to engage the first assembly when it is mated with the second assembly;
• the locking collar including a window in alignment with the at least one flexible finger in the unlocked position so the flexible finger may flex through the locking collar to engage the first assembly and including a solid section adjacent to the window;
• the locking collar being rotatable to the locked position to move the window out of alignment with the at least one flexible finger and to move the solid section to overlie the at least one flexible finger to prevent flexing of the flexible finger and keep it in engagement with the first assembly to lock the mated first assembly and second assembly together.

An electrical cable assembly comprising:

• a first conductor and a first connector assembly having a body, the first connector assembly coupled with the first conductor;
• a second conductor and a second connector assembly having a body, the second connector assembly coupled with the second conductor;
• the second assembly body configured to mate with the first assembly body and including a finger collar surrounding the second assembly body, and a locking collar rotatable on the finger collar between an unlocked position and a locked position;
• the finger collar including at least one flexible finger that flexes to engage the first assembly when it is mated with the second assembly;
• the locking collar including a window in alignment with the at least one flexible finger in the unlocked position so the flexible finger may flex through the locking collar to engage the first assembly and including a solid section adjacent to the window;
• the locking collar being rotatable to the locked position to move the window out of alignment with the at least one flexible finger and to move the solid section to overlie the at least one flexible finger to prevent flexing of the flexible finger and keep it in engagement with the first assembly to lock the mated first assembly and second assembly together to form the cable assembly.
