一种辅助插锁(50)供一种光纤连接器(12)之用，连接器(12)具有一个壳体(22)，壳体(22)具有一个壳体主体(24)并且具有一个主插锁(26)，主插锁(26)具有一个前端(30)和一个后端，前端(30)与壳体主体合并，后端形成一个手柄(42)，手柄(42)能被压下，以释放插锁并且允许连接器从一个终端联接件(16)退回，辅助插锁(50)防止主插锁的意外脱开。辅助插锁包括一个套筒(60)和一个楔形部分(52)，其中套筒(60)绕壳体主体延伸，并且能在其上向前和向后滑动，楔形部分(52)楔入在手柄的一个下表面(56)与壳体主体的一个顶部表面(54)之间。 A secondary latch (50) is provided for an optic fiber connector(12) that has a housing (22) with a housing body (24) and with a primary latch (26) with a front end (30) merging with the housing body and a rear end forming a handle (42) that can be depressed to release the latch and allow the connector to be withdrawn from a terminus coupling (16), the secondarylatch preventing unintentional unlatching of the primary latch. The secondary latch includes a sleeve (60) that extends around the housing body and that can slide forward and rearward thereon, and a wedge part (52) that is wedged between a lower surface (56) of the handle and a top surface (54) of the housing body.
