An electrical connector assembly includes a plug, having a body and multiple pins positioned on the body, and a socket connector including an insulating body. Each pin has an insertion portion extending downward out of the body. The insertion portion has a guide surface, and two contact regions located above the guide surface. The guide surface passes through a vertical center line of the insertion portion. Multiple accommodating holes run through the insulating body vertically. Multiple terminals are respectively accommodated in the accommodating holes. Each terminal is provided with two clamping portions. The guide surfaces guide the pins to be inserted downward into the accommodating holes. When each pin is inserted downward to a final position, the insertion portion is located between the two clamping portions, the two clamping portions are correspondingly in contact with the two contact regions, and the guide surface is located below the two clamping portions.

A connection system with two system elements forming a plug and a receptacle. A locking device including a locking nut mounted free in rotation around the plug or the receptacle, and a locking pin arranged into the locking nut. The locking pin is adapted to be engaged into a locking ramp provided in the receptacle or the plug by relative translation between the plug and the receptacle and rotation of the locking nut to mechanically lock the plug to the receptacle when they are in mutual connection. The arrangement of the locking pin is such that a pull force applied to a sliding part of the locking nut, in a sense opposite to the sense of their mutual connection, disengages the locking pin from the locking ramp, allowing the unlocking of the plug from the receptacle.

A quick connect plug for cables includes a connecting portion configured to connect a cable and a plug pin configured to form a plug-in connection with a socket. The plug pin is fixedly provided with a plug-in unit. A portion of the plug-in unit protruding out of an external annular surface of the plug pin forms a locking head matched with a socket slot. A gap is provided between a portion of the plug-in unit near the locking head and the plug pin, so as to enable the locking head to move along an axis direction of the plug pin, and the gap can limit the maximum displacement of the locking head. By providing a plug-in unit and a gap between the portion of the plug-in unit near the locking head and the plug pin, the plug-in unit is enabled to move, thus having certain elasticity.

An electrical connector includes a connector housing having terminal cavities which are arranged in an array having at least two rows and at least two columns. Each of the terminal cavities are configured to receive electrical terminals. Each terminal cavity defines a flexible primary locking mechanism integrally formed with the connector housing and configured to engage an edge of the electrical terminal, thereby inhibiting removal of the electrical terminals from the terminal cavities. The electrical connector also includes a secondary locking mechanism slidably attached to the connector housing and movable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The secondary locking mechanism defines a plurality of members configured to extend into the terminal cavities and engage the edge of two electrical terminals when the secondary locking mechanism is in the staged position, thereby further inhibiting removal of the electrical terminals from the terminal cavities.
