| Zusammenfassung: | A cable connector is provided having an insulative housing (26), a conductive shield (35) and a pair of latching members (56). Each latching member (56) has free ends (59) with engagement teeth formed thereon which are separated by an intervening engagement notch (65). The sidewalls (68a, 68b) of the engagement notch are flat and define hard stop surfaces in opposing directions for engagement by each latching member with an opposing board connector. The free ends further include ramped surfaces (69) leading to the engagement notch to form cam surfaces that depress each latching member when the cable connector is mated to a board connector. Each latching members may also include locating tabs (84) captured in vertical movement by the cable connector body. |
