ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing (3) having an electrical contact assembly (7) as part of a connecting section (2) for electrical connection with a complementary electrical connector. Latch members (4, 4') are mounted in the housing (3) and extend along respective sides of the connecting section (2) and include latch sections (4c, 4'c) and engaging sections (4a, 4'a). Planar arms (4b, 4'b) of the latch members (4, 4') are fixedly mounted in grooves (11, 11') of the housing (3) enabling the latch members to move from a latch position to a release position and operating means (5) is mounted in the housing (3) for movement from a first position to a second position by a force being applied thereto and including means (5b, 5c) engagable with the engaging sections (4a, 4'a) of the latch members (4, 4') for simultaneously moving the latch members from the latch position to the release position.
