Patent ID: 7033207

Claim:
A connector, comprising: a first housing having a resiliently deformable lock arm; and a second housing having a front end for mating with the first housing and an opposite rear end, at least one receptacle wall extending rearward from the front end, an oscillating wall extending reward from a location in proximity to the front end of the second housing and spaced outward from the receptacle wall such that a rearwardly open resonance space is defined between the oscillating wall and the receptacle wall, a lock projecting out on the oscillating wall, the lock being configured for generating deflection of the lock arm during connection of the first and second housings and configured for locked engagement with the lock arm when the first and second housings are connected properly, the lock arm being configured for contacting the oscillating wall in response to resilient restoring forces of the lock arm when the first and second housings are connected properly, and the oscillating wall being dimensioned to vibrate in response to the contact by the lock arm, whereby the vibrations resonate through the rearwardly open resonance space to provide an audible indication of proper connection of the first and second housings.
