Abstract
A latch-release mechanism is disclosed for a pair of electrical connectors movable toward each other in a mating direction into a mated condition. The mechanism includes a latching device on one of the electrical connectors for latchingly engaging a latch on the other electrical connector in response to movement of the connectors into the mated condition. A releasing device is provided for releasing the latching device on the one connector from latching engagement with the latch on the other connector in response to movement of the latching device generally perpendicular to the mating direction of the connectors.
