    Abstract: Connector inserts having latches, bayonets, or similar structures as retention features. The connector inserts may include these bayonets on one or more sides or other portions of the connector insert. The bayonets may be located inside of a connector insert while the connector insert is being inserted into a receptacle, thereby reducing wear and marring of the receptacle. The bayonets may extend out of a connector insert when the connector insert is inserted into the connector receptacle and may engage corresponding retention features in the connector receptacle, thereby reducing the chances of an inadvertent disconnection. When the bayonets are located inside the connector insert, the connector insert may be in a first state, while when the bayonets are extended, the connector insert may be in a second state. The connector insert may retain state in either the first or second state in the absence of a user applied force.

    Abstract translation: 连接器插件具有闩锁,卡口或类似结构作为保留特征。 连接器插入件可以在连接器插入件的一侧或多侧或其它部分上包括这些卡口。 当连接器插入件插入插座时,卡口可以位于连接器插入件的内部,从而减少插座的磨损和损坏。 当连接器插入件插入连接器插座中时,卡口可以延伸出连接器插件,并且可以接合连接器插座中的对应的保持特征,从而减少无意的断开的机会。 当卡口位于连接器插件内部时,连接器插入件可处于第一状态,而当卡口延伸时,连接器插入件可处于第二状态。 在没有用户施加的力的情况下,连接器插入件可以保持处于第一或第二状态的状态。
