Abstract:
A connection system for communication connectors, comprising:a first connector housing forming a front opening having an axis, for receiving a second connector including a latch along the direction of said axis; the first connector housing forms a retaining surface in the region of the front opening, wherein the retaining surface defines a connected position at which the retaining surface cooperates with a part of the latch to restrain displacement of the second connector in a direction out of the first connector housing; and a terminal housing joined to the first connector housing, the terminal housing having two resilient catches which are formed to project from opposite sides of the terminal housing and to engage corresponding sides of the first connector housing; wherein said catches project toward the front opening of the first connector housing, and free ends of the catches are configured to cooperate with a nose part of the second connector to urge the second connector toward the connected position and to restrain the second connector from displacement further into the connector housing.
