Abstract: Apparatus and system for securing a mated connector pair with a latch. The latch is a unitary elongate body configured to receive the mated connector pair. The latch may include a spring member and an internal passageway configured to receive a miniature circular connector. The latch may include a wire retainer feature to secure the latch to a wire harness.

Abstract: An electrical connector latching system for latching to and releasing from a receiving connector quickly and conveniently in a small space without damage to the receiving connector from misalignment of the connectors. The latching system has a first connector end and a second connector end, the first end having a pair of slots formed on the sides thereof, each slot having an aperture at the interior end of the slot and a second connector end having a pair of spring-mounted latching arms attached on the sides, each latching arm having a tooth with a lead-in ramp formed in the distal end thereof, the tooth received by the slot and ultimately by the aperture formed in the first connector end as the spring mounted in the pivoting latching arms urges the arms to latch as the two connector ends are manually pushed together. An adapter plate permits retro-fitting of the latching system to a standard connector.
Abstract: A non-conductive stabilizer bar device for aligning and stabilizing fine pitch electronic components, specifically a nanominiature connector, while these components are being mounted to a printed circuit board. The stabilizer bar device provides for alignment and stability in the all directions. The stabilizer bar device provides a series of grooves having detents that come into contact with fine pitch electronic leads and hold fast the fine pitch electronic leads providing stability by maintaining the true positioning of the terminal ends of the contacts.
