Connector

Claim 1

An electrical connector for connection with a printed circuit board of a computer unit, including a connector main body attached at an end of a cable, said connector comprises: a resilient arm part integral with a wall of the connector main body; a round projection part projecting from an end of said arm part and being operative to be resiliently urged into engagement with an engaging part of a cooperating connector of the computer unit when said connector main body is received in said computer unit; a sliding member mounted in said wall of said connector main body for sliding movement between a first position in which said member is disposed to flank said arm part to prevent said projection part from being displaced from engagement with said engaging part, and a second position in which said member is removed from its flanking position with respect to said arm part to allow said projection part on said arm part to be displaced from engagement with said engaging part, said sliding member being movable between said first and second positions and having a portion extending through an opening in said wall of said connector main body for access on the exterior side of said wall; grasping means on said sliding member for pulling and pushing said slide member between said first and said second position; and projection means extending outwardly from sides of said sliding member for limiting, by contacting a part of said wall of said connector main body cooperating with said projection means, the movement of said sliding member with respect to said connector main body as said sliding member is being pulled, whereby a pulling force imposed on said sliding member is transmitted through the contacting element to said connector main body for pulling the connector from said computer unit.
