ABSTRACT:
A connector housing includes a pair of latch arms along sides thereof which extend forwardly to latch with corresponding latching means of a housing of a mating connector. Each latch arm is joined integrally to the housing sides by flexible hinge joints which allow the deflection of the latch arm during mating and unmating. The hinge joints include midsections which have enlarged ends extending therefrom. Radiused sections are provided on the enlarged ends, the radiused sections are configured to properly distribute the stresses associated with the latch arms, such that as forces are applied to the latch arms concentration of stresses will be avoided on the hinge joints.
