Electrical connector

A transceiver for a two-connector system includes a circuit board, at least one cable attached to the circuit board, and a housing arranged to contain the circuit board. The two-connector system includes a front connector and a back connector. When the transceiver is connected to the two-connector system, a front edge of the circuit board is arranged to engage with the front connector and an intermediate portion of the circuit board is arranged to engage with the back connector.

Transceiver system

A plug housing preferably includes an upper housing and a lower housing defining a cavity and a latch portion arranged to be pivotable about the plug housing and including a pair of actuator beams. Respective ones of the pair of actuator beams are preferably arranged to be directly opposed to respective side surfaces of the plug housing. The latch portion is preferably arranged to be connected to the upper housing and the lower housing through a pair of projection portions or a pair of pivot holes arranged on opposite ones of the pair of actuator beams of the latch portion. The latch portion is preferably pivotable about the plug housing at a position corresponding to the pair of projection portions or the pair of pivot holes. The latch preferably includes a catch mechanism and a spring mechanism connected to a forward plate without contacting the pair of actuator beams.
