Abstract
An electrical connector assembly in which a latching lever is formed in the wall of the receptacle connector of the assembly. The lever has a latch shoulder engageable with a catch on the mating plug connector. The lever is pivotally mounted on the receptacle connector housing by integral live hinge pivots which extend laterally from the sides of the lever so that the lever is pivotable about an axis passing laterally through the receptacle housing, thereby providing a very low profile connector.
