Latch assemblies for connector systems

摘要

A connector system includes a base mount and a slider latch received in the base mount. The slider latch has a profiled groove configured to latchably receive a cam of a connector module. A faceplate is coupled to the base mount. The faceplate has an opening providing access to the slider latch. An ejector button is operatively coupled to the slider latch to move the slider latch from a latched position to an unlatched position. The slider latch is configured to eject the connector module as the slider latch moves between the latched and unlatched positions. A spring engages the slider latch and acts on the slider latch in a biasing direction. The spring forces the slider latch to return to the latched position after the ejector button is released.
