ABSTRACT:
A self latching and unlatching connector assembly includes first and second connectors having mating electrical contacts. The first connector has affixed thereto a pair of latch members. The second connector is mounted in an assembly which includes upper and lower shell halves, each of which has a groove therein for engaging a mounting flange on the connector. A pair of levers, each having first and second arms, are mounted on a pair of pivots which are integral with the lower shell half. One arm of each of these levers engages one of a pair of spring latches, each of which has provision at one end thereof for latching the second connector assembly to the first connector latch members. A sleeve having a pair of locking pins affixed thereto fits over the two mated shell halves. To effect disconnection the sleeve is grasped at any position on its periphery and pulled. The pulling force on the sleeve is transferred via the locking pins to the levers which, in turn, transfer the force to the spring latches causing them to unlatch from the latch members.
