Abstract
A molded latching device is disclosed which, along with a similar latching device, is intended for assembly to a rearward corner of a connector housing thereby to provide latching means on the housing for latching the housing to an opening in a panel. The latching device comprises an L-shaped member having first and second arms. The arms have first and second internal surfaces which define a pocket dimensioned to receive a rearward corner of the connector housing. Attaching means are provided on the first arm for attaching the latching device to the housing and a flexible latch arm extends parallel to the second arm for engagement with the surface of the panel. The second arm has bearing surfaces at its free end for engagement with surface portions of the panel.
