Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a jack and a plug. The jack has a cavity for receiving the plug, a stop member and latch stop. The plug has a plug body and a resilient latch arm with an arm and an abutment. The latch stop is spaced from the stop member by a jack nominal dimension within a jack tolerance. The plug has a free end spaced from the arm abutment by a plug nominal dimension within a plug tolerance. The difference between the jack nominal dimension and the plug nominal dimension is not greater than the sum of the jack tolerance and the plug tolerance.
