ABSTRACT:
A first movable connector part and a second fixedly positioned connector part form a connector. The second fixedly positioned connector part has at least two catch members separately positioned at spaced apart locations. The first connector part is adapted to be moved in a first direction toward the second connector part in response to a predetermined insertion force until the first connector part and the second connector part are connected. The first connector part has at least two movable latches separately supported at spaced apart locations on the first connector part, each of the latches being associated with a respective one of the catch members. Each of the catch members are adapted for engaging a respective one of the movable latches. A flexible linking bar connects the movable latches. On application of a predetermined extraction force, the linking bar flexes so as to cause the movable latches to be released from the catch members.
