ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (50) includes an insulative housing (52) defining a central opening (58) having a plurality of passageways (60) on two side for receiving a plurality of corresponding contacts (62) therein. A shield (74) is attached to the front surface (67) of the housing (52). A pair of L-shaped brackets (64) are formed adjacent two opposite ends of the housing (52) each having a horizontal slot (66) on the underside for securely receiving a corresponding mounting boardlock (90) therein. The boardlock (90) includes a horizontal portion (92), an engaging section (94) upward extending at the front end, and a pair of mounting legs (96) downward extending at the rear end. A securement tab (98) is positioned at the tip of the rear end of the boardlock (90). A pair of latches (84) are inserted into the corresponding vertical slots (72) of the housing (52) with hooks (89) projecting externally for releasably latching the complementary connector, and with tangs (87, 88) engaging the housing for securing the latches (84) in the housing (52) wherein the housing (52) includes a pair of vertical walls (73), in which the vertical slots (72) are positioned. An independent post (102) is communicatively positioned beside each vertical slot (72) and spaced from the projection section (56) of the housing (52) by a space (S) in the lengthwise direction along the housing (52) to provide capability of deflection thereabout for permission of possible tilting insertion of the latch (84) into the vertical slot (72) in the housing (52).
