Abstract:
1. An improved cable connector assembly, comprising: a connector housing, the connector housing including a hollow interior and a rear opening for receiving a cable therein; a circuit board, the circuit board including opposing leading and trailing edges, the leading edge at least partially extending out of the connector housing along a mating face thereof, the trailing edge being disposed within the connector housing to provide a termination location for wires of the cable; and a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism being adapted for latching the connector housing to an electronic device and including at least one latching member, extending longitudinally along the connector housing, and an actuator member, for moving one of the latching members out of engagement with the electronic device, the actuator member including a pull tab extending longitudinally along the cable, and further including a defined perimeter, a rounded edge extending along a substantial extent of the perimeter, the rounded edge providing the pull tab with increased resistance to tearing when subjected to torsional forces.
