Abstract
An electrical connector housing, such as an automotive fuse housing, is closed or opened by a standard cover that can be swung open in two directions, or pulled straight off. Cooperating pairs of hinge pins on the housing and resilient cantilever beams on the cover serve as either a releasable latch, or as a hinge, or as a pair of releasable latches, depending on the opening mode desired.
