ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector is provided for selectable mating with an electrical apparatus. The improved electrical connector is defined by a latch assembly, a connector housing, and a handle assembly. The latch assembly is mounted to the electrical apparatus. The connector housing includes physical features which allow for positive latching to the latch assembly, and which allow for the moveable attachment of the handle assembly to the connector housing. To intentionally disengage the electrical connector from the electrical apparatus, a user applies a pulling force on the handle assembly, whereupon the connector housing disengages from the latch assembly. However, if a pulling force is applied to the connector housing, or individual electrical cables, unintentional disengagement of the connector housing from the latch assembly is prevented.
