Abstract
A connector includes a pair of mating portions positioned side-by-side and each mating portion includes a pair of mating blades that are supported in vertical arrangement within the respective mating portion. A retainer can hold together the housing portions that form the mating portions. The retained can include a latching member that is configured to be translated in a vertical direction. An actuator can be translated in a horizontal direction, the horizontal translation causing the latching member to translate in the vertical direction.
