Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly having unitary spring latches for latching the assembly to a mating connector and for assisting in the separation of the assembly from the connector. The mating connector is associated with a latch post having an enlarged head at its forward end. The spring latch includes an engagement end adapted for engagement with the latch post behind the enlarged head and an actuating end at the opposite end of the spring latch across an integral pivot adapted for operator manipulation to release the engagement end from engagement with the latch post. The spring latch further includes integral biasing means for biasing the actuating end in a direction to effect engagement of the engagement end with the latch post and a spring arm which bears against the forward end of the latch post to provide a yieldable biasing force to the latch post in a direction to oppose mating of the assembly with the connector and to aid in separation of the assembly from the connector.
