ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a latch arm which is connected to the housing by a tubular hinge that is integrally molded with the housing and with the latch arm. The latch arm extends from the housing in a forward direction, and an axis of the tubular hinge extends transverse to the forward direction. A locking arm is connected to the latch arm and is cooperable with the housing to exert tension on the latch arm when the latch arm is engaged with a mating electrical connector. The locking arm has a hook portion that engages an inclined surface of the housing to facilitate tensioning of the latch arm.
