ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed which comprises an inner shielded body having two hinges stamped from the sidewalls thereof. Spring latching arms are rotatably connected to the hinges and comprise forward portions which include latching surfaces which latch the connector to a complementary connector. The latching arms further comprise, rearward of the hinge, surfaces which converge from front to rear. The outer housing includes an internal camming surface adjacent to the converging surfaces on the spring arms. The housing is axially movable relative to the inner shielded body, thereby to rotate the latch arms and unlatch the connector.
