ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector with latch mechanism includes an insulating housing having at least two rows of contact receiving channels and a passageway defined between the two rows of contact receiving channels, a plurality of contacts received in the contact receiving channels, and a latch mechanism mounted in the passageway including a pair of latch arms and a flexible beam flexibly connecting the latch arms. The pair of latch arms has a pair of hooks and a pair of force receiving portions forming a pair of cantilevers at outer sides thereof and a pair of flexible slices at inner sides thereof extending inwardly toward each other. During the force receiving portions are exerted to make the hooks latch a mating electrical connector, besides the flexible beam, the cantilevers and the flexible slices are deformed to cumulate resilience which produces an increased latch force when the force receiving portions are released.
