Abstract
A metal clip provides a two position latch for a flat cable connector. In the first position of the latch, an upper pressure member is held spaced from a lower contact support. After the cable has been placed in the connector, pressure on the two connector halves will cause a joining thereof to the cable and the catching of the latch to establish the second position. The metal clip provides a latch which is stronger than one made of plastic and which additionally aids in reinforcing the pressure member.
