ABSTRACT:
When a latch element is inserted in an opening of a first connector element, a cantilevered flexible portion of the latch element is retained in and latchingly engaged with the first connector element at a deflectable end portion of the cantilevered flexible portion. When the second connector element is inserted in and mated with the first connector element, the deflectable end portion of the cantilevered flexible portion is deflected in a direction orthogonal to the insertion/mating direction of the second connector element to force the deflectable end portion of the cantilevered flexible portion to move in the direction orthogonal to an insertion/mating direction, so as to release the retention of the latch element with the first connector element, thereby rendering the latch element movable in an insertion direction thereof.
