Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1137116A2] A latching system is provided for electrical connectors having different latch mechanisms. A first connector includes a housing having a multi-function latching post thereon. The latching post has an internally threaded distal end for receiving a jack screw latch mechanism of a mating connector. The post also includes an external shoulder for receiving a spring arm latch mechanism of a different mating connector. The latching post further includes a reduced shank portion defining a second shoulder to facilitate mounting the first connector to a panel. A spring arm latch mechanism is located on one of the mating connectors via a mounting protrusion. The spring arm latch mechanism includes a mounting flange insertable beneath the mounting protrusion. The mounting flange has an upturned lip to prevent the flange from being inserted into the opening beneath the mounting protrusion. <IMAGE>
