ABSTRACT:
A latching connector assembly includes a mechanism which provides audible and tactile sensation indicating that the parts of the connector assembly are latched or unlatched (opened). The mechanism includes fixed obstructions or protrusions (molded-in detents) disposed on both sides of the latching shaft located in the fixed portion of the plug part of the connector assembly. Latching posts are provided on the movable portion (latch mechanism) of the plug part. The posts co-act with the protrusions, as the latching mechanism is moved forward or backward in the latch shaft, causing an audible sound and positive/tactile feel, when latching or unlatching the plug part to the receptacle part of the connector assembly.
