An electrical connector housing (10) for flat cable (11) comprising a base member (13) and a cable locating member (12) pivoted together at adjacent ends for movement between an open, cable-locating condition, and a closed terminating condition in which a row of terminals (13) on the base member (12) terminate the cable (11). The terminals (13) are located adjacent the pivot and the cable locating member (12) comprises a pocket (14) penetrated by the terminals (13) on closing the housing (10). A latching means (35, 41) comprises a resiliently flexible bar (35) and release bar (41) supported for deflection adjacent an end of the base member (13) and extending spaced apart in side-by-side relation. A catch (18) on the cable locating member (12) engages catch portions (37, 38) on the latch bar (35) in the closed condition of the connector housing (10). Deflection of the release bar (41) towards the base member (13) flexes the latch bar (35) to disengage the catch (18) from the catch portions (37, 38). The catch portions adjacent lateral ends of the latch bar (35) are located rearwardly, in the direction of deflection, of catch portions (37) adjacent central portions of the bar (35). |
