Cooper Standard’s Auto-Lock™ quick connectors help manufacturers build confidence into every connection point. Designed with an automatic latching mechanism, Auto-Lock™ remains open during shipping and handling and locks only when fully installed, helping ensure a secure connection with every assembly.
With both an audible click and a visible change in retainer position, Auto-Lock™ gives operators clear confirmation that the connector is properly engaged. This built-in latch indication is especially valuable in tight or hard-to-see installation areas, where traditional connectors can be difficult to verify. Auto-Lock™ supports single- push installation, eliminating secondary locking steps and reducing assembly effort by up to 50% compared to multi-step designs.
Secure, Verified Vehicle Tubing Connections
Engineered for space-constrained systems, Auto-Lock™ offers a compact footprint without sacrificing performance. Its versatile design supports fuel, coolant, and air/vacuum applications, making it adaptable across a wide range of vehicle platforms and system requirements.
