Abstract
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing adapted for mounting on a complementary support structure in a given mounting direction. The housing has opposite side walls. A latch arm is cantilevered from each side wall of the housing and extends forwardly in the mounting direction. Each latch arm has a latch hook near a free end of the arm. The latch hook projects transversely of the mounting direction inwardly toward the respective side wall of the housing. The side walls include inwardly recessed areas into which the latch hooks extend.
