Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a pivotable connector latch for securing together a pair of mating electrical connector members. The latch includes a pivot end secured to one end of one of the electrical connector members and a clamp end having a U-shaped member including one leg with a resilient spring for snapping the latch onto another end of the connector member. An elongated locking section of the latch, with an elongated lip between the pivot end and the clamp end fixedly secures the connector members together. The other leg of the U-shaped member is a straight clip section with a beveled edge for engaging one of the connector members.
