Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing having a plurality of contacts defining a mating interface for a mating connector. A latch extends from the housing and is configured to securely couple the housing to the mating connector. The latch is depressible to an unlatched position. A tether is mated with the latch. The tether is movable between a released position and an actuated position, wherein the tether depresses the latch to the unlatched position when the tether is moved to the actuated position.
