ABSTRACT:
A data connector is disclosed herein having a premolded one-piece insulative boot housing which is slidably receivable over a shielded subassembly to form a shielded data connector. The one-piece premolded boot housing includes integral latching arms pivotal relative to the housing portion via molded web hinges. The ends of the latching arms adacent the mating face of the connector include hermaphroditic latching members which are capable of latching to an identical electrical connector. A locking ring is receivable over the rearward side of the premolded boot housing and is movable between a locked and unlocked position. When in the locked position, transverse channels formed in the locking ring encompass free ends of the latching arms thereby preventing pivotal movement of the latching arms.
