Abstract
A receptacle assembly (24) having spring biased latches (136) with catches (155) extending normal to a planar portion thereof. Latches (136) extend beyond the receptacle assembly (24) to be received and operate in channels (170) in header assembly (22). Catches ride up a ramp (172) in the channel (170) further biasing the latches (136) then seat in detent (176). Upon a sufficient force (018) being transferred by a cable (102) to the receptacle assembly (24), catch (155) pivotally deforms from its normal position, catch (155) slides along a surface (174, 178) of the channel (170) out of detent (176) then the receptacle and header assemblies (24,22) are pulled apart.
