ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an inner dielectric housing adapted for mounting a plurality of electrical contacts and including a forwardly projecting mating portion. A metallic shield surrounds the housing and includes a generally L-shaped resilient latching mechanism at the front of the shield outside the mating portion. The L-shaped latching mechanism includes a front-to-rear first leg along the mating portion and a transverse second leg projecting outwardly of the mating portion. The first leg has an outwardly projecting latch portion. An outer dielectric cover includes an actuator for engaging the second leg of the L-shaped latching mechanism to urge the first leg and its latch portion inwardly toward the mating portion of the housing.
