Abstract
Electrical connector having a latch to hold it to a support in working position. Included is a pivoted handle which normally lies close to the connector body, but which is accessible to allow it to be moved to a position for gripping to allow for connector removal from the support. The handle is connected to the latch so that as the handle moves to the position for connector removal, it automatically disconnects the latch thereby permitting withdrawal of the connector. Useful for connector positioning in confined spaces and allows for narrower circuit pack designs while also including essential latch mechanisms which, because of the narrow designs, are manually inaccessible.
