ABSTRACT:
An electrical cable and organizer assembly (10) with an improved latch (50) is disclosed. The connector (20) includes contacts (16, 18) that are terminated to the conductors (22) of the cable (14), and a connector housing (20) that is overmolded so that it surrounds the entire end (30) of the cable and the leads of the contacts (16, 18). A plurality of these cables (14) and attached connectors (20) are arranged within side by side cavities (80) in an organizer (12) and releasable latched in place. The latch (50), a separate part attached to each connector, includes a convex surface ( 62 ) that latchingly engages an opening ( 90 ) in the top wall of the organizer. By depressing the convex surface (62) of the latch member (50) the cable and associated connector are released and can be removed from the organizer (12). The latch member includes an elastic beam (56) that allows sufficient deflection to release the latch while maintaining the beam within its elastic limit.
