Claims
- 1. 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.
- 2. The plug connector of claim 1, further comprising a compression spring to bias the second latch away from the first latch.
- 3. The plug connector as recited in claim 1, wherein said first latch has an actuation direction and said second latch has an actuation direction that is transverse to said actuation direction of said first latch.
- 4. The plug connector as recited in claim 3, wherein the plug engages the receptacle connector in an insertion direction, said actuation direction of said second latch generally parallel to said insertion direction.
- 5. The plug connector as recited in claim 3, wherein said actuation direction of said second latch is towards the receptacle.
- 6. The plug connector as recited in claim 1, wherein said second latch slides relative to said housing.
- 7. 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.
- 8. The electrical connector assembly as recited in claim 7, wherein said at least one first plate comprises two spaced plates which receive said second plate therebetween.
