Electrical connector having improved pull tab

An electrical connector for mating with a complementary connector comprising;

• a main housing comprising a bottom housing and a top housing assembled onto the bottom housing, a mating frame formed on a front end thereof;
• a terminal insert assembled into the mating frame and having a plurality of terminals received therein;
• a pull tab securely attaching to the housing and having an operation portion at one end thereof and a latch releasing portion at the other end thereof;
• and
• a pair of latch springs cooperating with the pull tab for engaging with a hook of the complementary connector;
• wherein when the connector is mated with the complementary connector, the operation portion abuts against a surface of the main housing;
• when the pull tab is pulled rearwardly in a longitudinal direction by gripping the operation portion, the latch releasing portions deflect the latch springs in a lateral direction for separating from the hook of the complementary connector, thereby the connector is released;
• wherein
• the operation of the pull tab comprises an operating tongue, and the bottom housing defines a recess in a bottom face for receiving the operating tongue;
• wherein
• the main housing defines a pair of channels on opposite sides thereof, and the pull tab comprises a pair of arms extending from opposite ends of the operating portion for being received in the channels, respectively;
• wherein
• the operating, tongue comprises a plurality of steppers thereon for providing more roughness to facilitate an operator easily to operate the pull tab;
• where
• in the main housing comprises a pair of bars adjacent to corresponding sides of the mating frame.
