Abstract
An electrical connector comprising an insulative body, an electrically conductive terminal received on the insulative body, and electrical shield member disposed in shielding relationship with respect to the terminal, a latching structure integral with the shield member for receiving a latch associated with a mating connector and a second latching structure integral with the shield member for engaging a bracket. There is also a mating connector which has a plurality of peripheral protuberances which preferably contact the panel to improve shielding.
Claims8
A plug connector engageable with a mating receptacle connector, the plug connector comprising:
- a housing;
- a conductive contact secured to the housing;
- a first latch for engaging a corresponding latch structure on the receptacle;
- a second latch for actuating the first latch to disengage the first latch from the latch structure of the receptacle;
- and
- a spring to bias the second latch away from the first latch.
An electrical connector assembly, the assembly comprising:
- at least one electrical plug connector removably engageable with a corresponding mating connector mounted to the bracket;
- and
- a strain relief plate, having:
- at least one transverse aperture for receiving said at least one electrical connector;
- and
- a fastener to mount said plate in spaced relation to the bracket, wherein said strain relief plate comprises:
- at least one first plate having notches along an edge thereof;
- and
- a second opposed plate having notches along an edge thereof;
- wherein said notches of said first and second plates form said at least one transverse aperture.
