CONNECTOR SECONDARY LATCH

摘要

A secondary latch (50) is provided for an electrical or optic fiber connector (12) that has a housing (22) with a housing body (24) and with a primary latch (26) with a front end (30) merging with the housing body and a rear end forming a handle (42) that can be depressed to release the latch and allow the connector to be withdrawn from a terminus coupling (16), the secondary latch preventing unintentional unlatching of the primary latch. The secondary latch includes a sleeve (60) that extends around the housing body and that can slide forward and rearward thereon, and a wedge part (52) that is wedged between a lower surface (56) of the handle and a top surface (54) of the housing body.
