Abstract
Connector (10) having a housing (12) and a latching member (30) mountable thereto at a fastening site (32) with a latching end (34) adjacent a mating face (18) and an elongate actuation arm (36) extending rearwardly along the connector and biased away therefrom. The latching member (30) is pivotable when actuated to delatch from a mating connector (42), by movement of actuation arm (36) toward the housing against spring bias to pivot the latching end (34) away from the mating connector to disengage from the latching section (44) thereof. Latching member (30) may be initially separate from the connector to permit selection from a set of latching members of different lengths prior to mounting.
