[ We claim:] [1.] A connector having an integrally formed cantilever latch arm projecting outwardly from the connector, comprising:an unshrouded projecting free end portion formed on the cantilever latch arm; anda distal end of the free end portion;the unshrouded free end portion projecting inwardly toward a top wall of the connector to dispose the distal end in sufficient proximity with the top wall such that the latch arm is less likely to tangle or snag with other objects, and the free end portion is disposed substantially above the extent of the top wall such that free unimpeded access to the free end portion facilitates release of the connector during which the distal end longitudinally extends unimpeded in a direction opposite a front face.
