A low-profile D-subshell connector system is provided with interlocking components that can be used where space limitations are required. The system comprises a connector plug that has a connector; a backshell that houses a portion of the connector and is affixed to the connector; and a latch that is affixed to the connector and backshell. The latch (80) comprises an angled tab (90) that is resiliently pivotally mounted to a front portion of the latch. The tab comprises a wide region (96), a narrow region (94), and a release protrusion (92) extending perpendicular from a top surface of the tab. A catch assembly (200) engages the tab (90) of the latch (80), the catch comprising a front portion (220) having a notch (222) therein. A part of the catch front portion (220) serves to engage the wide region (96) of the tab, thereby forcing the tab to pivot when the connector is partially inserted; and the narrow region (94) of the tab resides in the catch notch (222) when the connector is fully inserted.
