Component attachment system with primary and secondary locking features

Abstract

A system for attaching a first component, e.g., a first housing component of an electrical assembly, to a second component, e.g., a second housing component of the electrical assembly includes a locking ramp and a first secondary lock attached to the first component. The first secondary lock has a first plurality of locking teeth located proximate to the locking ramp. The system further includes a locking latch having a cantilevered arm attached to the second component and terminated by a latch arm. The locking latch is configured to engage the locking ramp when the latch arm rides up and over the locking ramp. The cantilevered arm includes a second secondary lock having a second plurality of locking teeth that engages the first plurality of locking teeth as the latch engages the locking ramp.
