ABSTRACT:
A latching apparatus for coupling together two mating connector housings includes a toothed latch member supported on a spring arm which is attached to a first one of the housings. The latch member includes a transverse surface formed with one or more teeth. The second housing carries a release member having a spring portion, a manually operable portion and openings to receive the teeth. When the housings are joined, the latch member enters the second housing such that the transverse surface overlies a spring extension of the manually operable member. Movement thereof extracts the teeth from the openings to release the housings. The latching apparatus forms a ground between the connectors.
