Connector assembly

A connector assembly comprising a first connector, a second connector and a latch biased in a first direction to connect the first and second connectors and movable in a second direction by a user to disconnect the first and second connectors, the assembly comprising a securing lock which is:

• rotatable between a release position and an intermediate position, and, whenin the intermediate position, slidable to a securing position to secure the latch in a latching position by blocking movement of a release end of the latch, wherein the securing lock comprises one or more cylindrical parts defining a rotational axis, and wherein the assembly comprises a sliding guide comprising a recess in the cylindrical part and a protrusion slideable within the recess when the securing lock is between the intermediate position and the securing position.

A connector assembly comprising a first connector, a second connector and a latch for connecting the first and second connectors, the assembly comprising a securing lock which is rotatable between a release position and an intermediate position and slidable from the intermediate position into a securing position securing the latch in a latching position;

• wherein the latch is pivotable about a pivot section, the latch having a latch end at one side of the pivot section and a release end at the opposite side of the pivot section, wherein the release end comprises a flange and the securing lock engages the release end when the securing lock is in its securing position to prevent pivoting of the latch when the latch is in its latching position;
• and
• wherein the securing lock comprises an edge positioned such that the flange slides underneath a lower surface of the edge when the securing lock slides into its securing position.
