Abstract:
1. An electrical connector module for mating with a complementary connector module comprises: a housing defining a channel formed on a top surface thereof and a mounting slot recessed downwardly from a bottom surface of the channel for a distance; a releasing mechanism assembled to the housing and received into the channel, the releasing mechanism defines a tab extending into the mounting slot, and an actuator formed on a front end thereof; and a resilient piece received into the mounting slot, the resilient piece having a front end abutting against a front inner surface of the mounting slot and a rear end abutting against the tab; the complementary connector module comprises a latching member locked in the front end of the channel and located above the actuator; wherein the releasing mechanism moves forwardly, the actuator extends into a front end of the channel and raises up the latching member along a vertical direction; wherein the connecting portion of the releasing mechanism defines an opening, a protruding portion is formed in the channel and cooperated with the opening to limit the movement of the releasing mechanism along a front-to-rear direction; wherein the electrical connector module further comprises a PCB received into the housing and a cable received into the housing and electrically connected to the PCB; the resilient piece is a compression spring.
