[RE-wrenches] Latch Locking

[Mark Frye]

Can anyone help me out with a reference.

NEC 2008, 690.33 (3), Type. "The connectors shall be of the latching or
locking type
"

I know I once hand my hands on the authoritative source defining the terms
latching and locking, but no longer seem to be able to find it.

Do I still have it right: Latching: can be disconnected by applying a force
of 30 in-lbs, no other manipulation needed. Locking: can not be disconnected
without manipulating the connector, but can be done by hand. Locking
requiring a tool: same as locking but manipulation of connector can not be
by hand alone, requires a tool?

Thanks,
