ABSTRACT:
An electrical computer cable connector that has high strength and resistance to twisting forces includes a housing and latching arms located along lateral sides of the housing. The latching arms have engaging ends for engaging a complementary electrical connector, actuator ends for finger grasping to move the engaging ends of the latching arms about a pivot point, and spring arms to give a spring action to the latching arms. The latching arms are formed of relatively thick gauge metal to prevent bending or deformation of the engaging ends, and resist separation forces of at least 50 pounds. A housing cover fits over the housing and latching arms.
