Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for mounting to a panel. The panel includes a latch element that projects outward from a first side of the panel. The connector assembly includes a connector body that has a mating end configured to interface with the panel and mate with another electrical connector through the cut-out. The connector assembly also includes at least one tab extending away from the body. The tab is oriented to engage a second side of the panel. Also, the connector assembly includes a wing member that extends away from the body and is oriented to move along the first side when moved in a locking direction. The wing member includes an end portion and a latch opening. The wing member is configured to flex away from the first side and resile toward the first side and engage the latch element.
