    Abstract: An antenna reflector and an associated latch system are provided. The antenna reflector includes a plurality of reflector portions that are connected in a predetermined configuration to define a continuous surface, such as a parabolic surface. The latches connect the reflector portions. Each latch includes first and second latch members, which define reference surfaces that are structured to contact when the latch is closed. In particular, the reference surfaces are disposed at predetermined and dissimilar distances from connection features of the respective latch members. For example, the first and second reference surfaces of the respective latch members can be disposed at first and second distances from apertures through the respective latch members. The first distance can be greater than the second distance so that, when a fastener is disposed through both apertures, the reference surfaces are urged together and the reflector portions are connected in a predetermined configuration.
