Connector assembly for IC card

摘要

A connector assembly (18) is disclosed having a latching mechanism (70) for locking the assembly to the rear of an IC (integrated circuit) card (14). The assembly incorporates an actuator (86) for operating the latching mechanism. The actuator is rotatably mounted at the rear portion (28) of the housing of the connector assembly, which allows the assembly to have a short profile. The cable for the assembly is connected to one side (32) of the housing.
