ABSTRACT:
A connector (12) having a slidelatch member (50) or a slidelatch member (50) adapted to be slidingly secured on a connector (12) by a pair of slidelatch securing posts (56, 58) wherein the slidelatch member (50) is movable laterally between a latched first position and an unlatched second position. The slidelatch member (50) has an elongate base member (60) which defines first and second transverse end portions (66, 68) each having side edges. The base member (60) has an aperture (70) adapted to receive the shroud (72) of the connector (12), and slot means (74, 76) proximate the slidelatch securing posts (56, 58) adapted to permit the slidelatch member (50) to move between the latched first position and the unlatched second position. The slidelatch member (50) further has overturned extensions (80, 82) extending from the transverse end portions (66, 68). Side rails (62, 64) on the slidelatch member (50) extend between the first and second transverse end portions (66, 68) and are integral with side edges thereof. The side rails (62, 64) have structure that cooperates with at least one of the overturned extensions (80, 82) to prevent relative movement between the overturned extension (82, 84) and the side rails (62, 64).
