Abstract:
A connector includes a latching mechanism configured to mechanically unlatch the connector and a mating connector. The latching mechanism of the connector, when actuated to unlatch the connector and the mating connector, disengages both a retention feature of the connector and a retention feature of the mating connector.

Claim (Index 19):
A connector having a latching mechanism, the latching mechanism comprising:\n a retention feature disposed on a first side of the connector; a complementary retention feature disposed on a second side of the connector opposite the first side, the retention feature of the connector configured to engage a complementary retention feature of a mating connector and the complementary retention feature of the connector configured to engage a retention feature of the mating connector; an actuating lever having a first end and a second end; a first arm disposed along the first side of the connector, the first arm having a first end and a second end and one or more cams disposed at the second end of the first arm; a linkage attaching the first end of the first arm to the second end of the actuating lever; a second arm disposed along the second side of the connector, the second arm having a first end and a second end and at least one cam disposed at the second end of the second arm; a pivot arm rigidly attached to the second end of the actuating lever and attached to the first end of the second arm by a hinge; and wherein actuation of the lever causes rotation of the first end of the lever around the second end of the lever, the rotation of the first end of the lever causes the pivot arm to rotate around a fulcrum, rotation of the pivot arm around the fulcrum causes the first arm and the second arm to move in opposite directions along the first and second sides of the connector, respectively, motion of the first arm causes the cams at the second end of the first arm to disengage the retention feature of the connector from the complementary retention feature of the mating connector, motion of the second arm causes the cam at the second end of the second arm to disengage the complementary retention feature of the connector from the retention feature of the mating connector.
