ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a connector device for retentively connecting a ribbon cable to a mating, connector. In one embodiment, the connector device defines a slot that mates with a hardware device of a computer. The connector device includes an internal retaining mechanism located between first and second members. The internal retaining mechanism operates in a first position in which the internal retaining mechanism engages the mating connector of the hardware device when the mating connector is positioned within the slot to thereby inhibit the mating connector from moving out of the slot. The internal retaining mechanism also operates in a second position in which the internal retaining mechanism is disengaged from the mating connector to allow the mating connector to move out of the slot.
