Electrical connector with improved latch

An electrical connector, comprising:

• an insulator comprising a pair of guide posts on both sides of the front thereof and a pair of arm portions on both sides of the rear thereof a recess disposed in the arm portion and extending into the guide post to receive a latch;
• and
• a conductive terminal held in the insulator;
• the latch comprising a holding portion received in said arm portion for holding the latch in the insulator, an engaging portion extending forwards from a front end of the holding portion and received in the guide post for engaging with a complementary connector, a spring portion extending outwards and forwards from a rear end of the holding portion, and a pressed portion connecting with the spring portion and located outside the engaging portion to drive the engaging portion by pressure;
• and
• the pressed portion comprising an operating portion with a through-hole thereof, and a button having a recess with a protrusion for engaging with said through-hole, said operating portion received in said recess.

An electrical connector comprising;

• an insulative housing defining a pair of guiding posts at two opposite longitudinal ends thereof;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing;
• a pair of latches associated with the corresponding pair of guiding posts, respectively, each of said latch being of roughly a U-shaped configuration, in a side view, with an inner arm and an outer arm thereof, a retention section being located at a rear portion of the inner arm, a hook section located at a tip of a front portion of the inner arm, and
• a button attached to the outer arm;
• wherein
• the outer arm is shorter than the inner arm, and a front portion of said outer arm actuates said front portion of the inner arm when the button is pressed inwardly.
