Abstract
A connector comprises a first housing and a second housing each receiving a plurality of electrical terminals. The second housing is connected to the first housing, and is movable relative thereto in an insertion direction of the connector with respect to a mating connector. A latch selectively fixes the first housing in a staggered position relative to the second housing in the insertion direction. As the connectors are joined to a mating connector, a protrusion on the mating connector engages and opens the latch to permit relative movement of the first and second housing.
