ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is adapted for mounting onto a panel having an opening and slots formed along the opening. A mating connector is disposed within the panel. The connector includes a housing having projections configured and disposed to engage the panel opening, corresponding projections and slots properly aligning the connector with the panel opening. Once the connector engages the panel opening, the connector is moved so that the connector projections are misaligned with the panel opening, preventing removal of the connector from the panel opening. A latch slidably engaged along the connector housing is actuated to a latched position so that the latch is positioned within the panel opening, preventing relative movement of the connector with respect to the panel. The latch cannot be removed from the connector by actuating the latch from a latched to an unlatched position.
