Abstract
An electrical connector includes a dielectric body, which has at least two rows of contact receiving holes extending therethrough and a passageway defined between the two rows of contact receiving holes. A plurality of contacts are held in the contact receiving holes. A latch mechanism mounted in the passageway includes two latch arms, each of which has a hook and a force receiving portion, a pivot coupling the two latch arms together, and a spring disposed between the two latch arms. When the force receiving portions are exerted by a force, the two latch arms are pivoted to deflect the hooks from their original positions to mate with a mating connector. Thereafter, when the force is removed from the force receiving portions, the hooks urged by the spring tend to recover to their original positions to thereby fasten the mating connector.
