ABSTRACT:
An accessory connector assembly comprises a connector housing (102, 104), an electrical connector (106) and a circuit substrate mounted horizontally within the connector housing, and an actuator (110). The electrical connector has a cantilevered latch member (124) which is used to engage a latch feature (504) of an accessory port (502) on a communication device (500). The electrical connector is connected to the circuit substrate, upon which circuit components (136) are disposed. The circuit substrate is connectable with an external cable (506). To release the accessory connector assembly from the communication device, the actuator is pressed downwards. Vertical cantilevered actuator arms are urged inwards against the cantilevered latch members to disengage them from the communication device.
