ABSTRACT:
A electrical connector (10) adapted to be inserted into and retained in a panel opening (46) includes a dielectric housing (12) having flanges (22) extending outwardly from opposed sides (16) thereof proximate a panel mounting face (14), each flange (22) having a resilient latching arm (24) and a spacing arm (30) extending forwardly therefrom, the spacing arm (30) being outward of the latching arm (24). The latching arm (24) has a latching surface (26) at the leading end thereof. The leading end (32) of the spacing arm (30) is spaced rearwardly from the latching surface (26) a selected distance such that, upon inserting the connector (10) into the panel opening (46) from the second side (44), the latching arms (24) engage the first side (42) of the panel (40) and the leading ends (32) of the spacing arms (30) engage the second side (44), thereby securing the connector (10) in the panel opening (46).
