Abstract (en)
An electrical connector housing (8) was a pair of coplanar latch arms (116) which are connected by a U-shaped resilient strap (118) at their rear ends. The strap (118) has a bight (122) which is connected to the housing (8) to provide a pivot point (P) about which the latch arms (116) are pivotable between a normal position and a latching position. Each latch arm (116) terminates forwardly, in a latching head (134) which lies beneath a side wall (132) of a hood (60) enclosing the forward end of the housing (8). The remainder of each latch arm (116) is substantially coplanar with the hood side wall (132) whereby the latch arms (116) are in-line with the housing (8). The latch arms (116) are connected to the housing by way of the bight (122) of the strap (118). The in-line location of the latch arms (116) avoids the tangling with leads extending from terminals when the housing has been loaded with terminals. Moulding of the housing is also facilitated and the latch arms are protected against damage when the housing (8) is being handled. <IMAGE>
