Abstract

See full text

Described herein are connector components for selectively connecting to a PCB or other type of secondary device. Such a connector component comprises a body, electrically conductive contact pins, and latching pins. The body includes opposing sides at which are located pinch tabs. The electrically conductive contact pins and the latching pins each includes a portion thereof also extending from the bottom of the body. The pinch tabs are configured to normally bias the latching pins in a first position where the latching pins are angled relative to a central axis of the connector component when the pinch tabs are not being pinched inwards towards one another. Additionally, the pinch tabs are configured to bias the latching pins in a second position where the latching pins are substantially parallel to the central axis of the connector component when the pinch tabs are being pinched inward towards one another.
