ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector housing for flat cable comprising first and second members movable between mutually adjacent and remote positions corresponding to closed and open conditions of the housing respectively. Latching means comprise a latch bar and a release bar supported for deflection adjacent an end of one member and extending spaced apart in side-by-side relation interconnected by a plurality of transverse struts to defining an eye. A catch means on the other member is receivable in the eye in latching engagement with the latching bar in the closed condition of the connector housing, movement of the release bar in the direction of the latch bar deflecting the latch bar, thereby to disengage the catch means from the latch bar. The latch bar and release bar are resiliently flexible and the latch bar is joined at respective opposite ends of a slot to the one member by relatively rigid webs, deflection of the release bar towards the one member flexing the latch bar to disengage the catch member from the latch bar. The latch bar carries catch portions, the catch portions adjacent lateral ends of the bar being located rearwardly, in the direction of deflection, of catch portions adjacent central portions of the bar.
