Abstract
A connector assembly is disclosed for mounting through an aperture in a panel. The assembly includes an adapter mountable in the aperture in the panel. The adapter has engagement arms for engaging the panel and restricting relative movement between the adapter and the panel. A connector is insertable into the adapter in an insertion direction. Releases are provided on the connector for disengaging the engagement arms of the adapter from the panel in response to inserting the connector into the adapter and, thereby, remove the restriction on the relative movement between the adapter and the panel.
