Zusammenfassung:A retractable connector mechanism for a signal connector has a recessed tub housing with a signal connector carrier rotatably fixed within the housing. The retractable connector mechanism rotates from the stored position in the housing to an angled positioned extending out of the housing. A biased carrier latch is attached to the signal connector carrier and is biased by a spring to rotate to a locked position. The biased carrier latch has a cam surface that travels on first and second guide surfaces within the housing such that rotating the signal connector carrier from the stored position to the angled position causes the cam surface to travel on the first guide surface and the biased carrier latch to rotate to a locked position on the second guide surface to latch the signal connector carrier in the angled position.
