Electrical connector having a latch to hold it to a support in working position. Included is a pivoted handle which normally lies close to the connector body, but which is accessible to allow it to be moved to a position for gripping to allow for connector removal from the support. The handle is connected to the latch so that as the handle moves to the position for connector removal, it automatically disconnects the latch thereby permitting withdrawal of the connector. Useful for connector positioning in confined spaces and allows for narrower circuit pack designs while also including essential latch mechanisms which, because of the narrow designs, are manually inaccessible.

An electrical connector for use in a confined space in an electronic module including a casing for receiving the electrical connector, the connector having: a connector housing; a beam latch having two end portions of an intermediate portion between the end portions with the beam latch integrally and resiliently flexibly connected to the connector housing by a lateral neck disposed at the intermediate portion and the beam latch being in a resiliently unstrained position at the lateral neck and in which the latch finger is disposed in a latching position; and connector removal means pivotally mounted in a fixed pivotal position to the connector housing and having a handle and a camming element, the handle being movable to pivot the removal means in one direction by a pull on the handle in a specific direction to cause the camming element to actuate the cam and hence flex the beam latch from the unstrained position and remove the latch finger from the latching position, the electrical connector then being removable in the direction of pull upon the handle.
