Abstract
An electrical connector which includes mating first and second connector bodies each including mating respective first and second contacts. Locking members are provided for locking the first and second connector bodies together in a connected mode. The second connector includes an elastic member which is engaged and compressed by the first and second connector bodies in the connected mode. The elastic member is decompressed, and thereby facilitates the disconnection of the first and second connector bodies, in a disconnected mode.
