Claim:
A plug connector adapted for mating with a complementary connector, comprising: a housing comprising a base defining a first and a second slots, and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base for fitting with the complementary connector; a circuit board received in the housing; a latching mechanism assembled to the base and comprising a pusher and a latch, said pusher having a resilient beam disposed in the first slot and facing toward the second slot, a head portion connected with the resilient beam and provided with a resisting portion, and a pressing portion formed above the resilient beam, said latch having an inclined connecting portion engageable with the resisting portion and a latching portion; and a metal shell attached to the base and having a window for outward passage of the pressing portion; wherein said resilient beam of the pusher is downwardly deformable in the second slot from an initial position to a final position to move the resisting portion relative to the inclined connecting portion of the latch to thereby move the latching portion from a latching position to an unlatching position.
