Connector for latching and carrying current capabilities with tooless connection

A tooless electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having a bore with a groove disposed on an inside surface of said bore, said groove establishing a shoulder between a groove bottom and bore inside surface;
• a flat spring disposed in said groove for defining a spring cavity between the flat spring and said shoulder;
• a circular canted coil spring disposed in said spring cavity;
• a pin having a tapered end and a body diameter sized for sliding engagement with the bore inside surface and having a circumferential groove in the pin body for receiving the coil spring upon insertion of the pin into the bore;
• and
• said flat spring comprising two spring elements, a first spring element comprising a plurality of primary radial fingers for retaining the coil spring in the cavity before insertion of the pin into the bore and a second spring element comprising a plurality of secondary radial fingers for preventing axial movement between said housing and said pin with the coil spring within the pin groove.
