ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to an electrical cable connector of the type for mating with and latchably engaging a complementary connector. The connector typically includes a dielectric housing containing an array of electrical contacts for electrical engagement with respective contacts in a complementary connector. The connector further comprises a pair of unitary metal shielding members stamped and formed from a metal sheet blank, where a first of the shielding members includes a pair of reversely bent latching arms extending from a mating end toward a cable receiving end, and a pair of hermaphroditic cover members formed of a dielectric material adapted to interfit together about the electrical connector in sliding engagement therewith, and movable from a first position to a second position to effect unmating of said electrical connector from the header assembly. Each cover member includes a latching arm receiving recess, and a flexible arm engageable with a complementary recess in the opposing cover member. Manual movement of the assembled cover members to the second position causes the respective flexible arms to flex from their resiled position. Releasing the assembled cover members effects a return of the assembled cover members to the first position.
