Abstract
A latching assembly for a multipiece connector is disclosed, comprising a first body side surface recessed between two edge flanges, and retention protuberances projecting outwardly therefrom; a second body side surface from which a medianly slotted tab projects tangentially for latching over one of the connector body protuberances; and a third body side surface from which a T-shaped cantilever spring finger projects tangentially. The spring finger is adapted to include forward flange means for latching over the first and second side surface profiles, and a longitudinal rib protrusion for projecting into the second side surface tab slot for adding increased lateral stability to the overall assembly.
