Electrical connector with latching system

摘要

An electrical connector ( 1 ) includes a terminal module ( 32 ), a metallic shield ( 31 ) shielding the terminal module, an outer dielectric cover ( 10 ) substantially surrounding the shield and a button ( 40 ) attached to the cover. The terminal module includes a mating portion ( 323 ) having a number of conductive terminals ( 322 ) exposed therein. The shield provides a resilient latching beam ( 20 ) at a front portion thereof. The latching beam includes a driving portion ( 22 ) and an outwardly extending latching portion ( 21 ) adjacent to the mating portion. The cover has an inwardly projecting post ( 111 ). The button includes an operating base ( 43 ) and an actuator arm ( 41 ) being pivotally movable about the post to push the button outwardly.
