ABSTRACT:
A latching-ejector device is disclosed for intended use with a connector receptacle housing having a base and sidewalls for receiving a plug housing therebetween, and having at least two apertures in opposing sidewalls of the receptacle. The latching-ejector device comprises a generally W-shaped portion having two leg members integral with and depending therefrom for mounting onto the receptacle housing outside of the sidewalls. The W-shaped portion provides a locking lip for intended engagement with an upper surface of the plug housing, and each leg member includes a stud portion projecting through a respective aperture into supporting engagement with a bottom surface of the plug housing. In response to an outward rotation of the W-shaped portion, the locking lip is first disengaged from the upper surface of the plug housing and as continued rotation takes place the stud portions are adapted to swing upward within the apertures forcing the plug housing upward and out of mating relationship with the receptacle housing.
