Abstract
A plug connector includes a plug housing including a mating end and a cable end oriented perpendicular to the mating end. The plug connector includes a contact assembly having right angle contacts. A latch is coupled to the plug housing having a main body and a latch member extending from the main body. The latch member includes a pivot point. The plug connector includes a pull tab coupled to the main body of the latch at a connection point. The connection point is located forward of a pivot point and above a pivot point. The pull tab pulls on the main body at the connection point to pivot the latch at the pivot point to rotate the main body and the latch member in a downward actuation direction. The pull tab is pulled to release the latching tab from the mating connector.
