A CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH A CONNECTOR, A LATCH MEMBER AND A PANEL

摘要

Disclosed is a connector assembly (10) consisting of a main body (12) and a latch member (30). In one embodiment, the latch member (30) is formed as a spring and has a first portion (32) with a structure of locking ribs (38) that can be pressed towards the main body (12) to allow the connector assembly (10) to be inserted through the front side (102a) or the rear side (102b) of an opening (102) in a panel (100). After insertion, the first portion (32) can then be released, so that a retaining structure (18) of the main body (12) and the structure of locking ribs (38) couple at opposite ends of the opening (102) to secure the connector assembly (10) inside the opening (102). The same connector assembly (10) can be used with different sized openings (102, 202, 302), without modifications.
