Electrical connector having a latch mechanism

摘要

An electrical connector (1) includes a base (10) and a cover (20) assembled together. The base and cover each define a pair of channels (121, 221). A pull tab (80) has an operation portion (81) and a pair of arms (82) extending from the operation portion. The pair of arms are received in the channels with the operation portion located outside of the base and cover. Each arm has a latch releasing portion (83) at a free end thereof. A pair of latch springs (70) each has a first claw portion (72) engaging with the base, a second claw portion (73) for engaging with a complementary connector, and a sloping portion (712) between the first and second claw portion. The sloping portions have inner faces engaging with the latch releasing portions. The latch releasing portions push the sloping portions to lead the second claw portions separating the complementary connector mated with the present electrical connector when the pull tab is pulled rearwards.
