Abstract

A cable connector assembly is provided which is particularly useful as a vehicle antenna cable connector. Two mating connectors are provided, one having a male contact and the other having a female contact. A pair of latches is provided which engage one another when the contacts are fully electrically connected. A resilient member is contained in one of the connectors to urge the connectors apart if the connectors are not fully connected and the latches fully engaged.
