ABSTRACT:
A plug-receiving electrical connector is described, which includes a molded plastic housing (12) with a forwardly-opening cavity (16) for receiving a plug (11), which includes one-piece metal holders (13, 14) that directly engage latches (67) on the plug and that directly fix the connector to a circuit board (15). Each one-piece holder is formed of sheet metal and has a main part (45) lying in a vertical plane (82) and a strike (47) extending from a forward edge (84) of the main part and bent 90.degree. about a vertical axis (100). The housing has side walls (26, 27) that each have a vertical slot (31, 32) that enables the holder main part to pass completely through the slot so a bottom portion (94) of the holder can directly engage the circuit board, and so the strike can project into the plug-receiving cavity to directly engage the plug latch. Each side wall is formed with a protrusion (22) that lies against the forward surface of the strike to support it.
