Abstract

See full text

Pluggable connector including a connector housing having a mating end that is configured to engage a communication component during a mating operation. The pluggable connector also includes a coupling mechanism that is attached to the connector housing. The coupling mechanism includes a component latch and a biasing finger that engages the component latch. The component latch is rotatable about a pivot axis between open and closed positions and has an operative end that moves relative to the connector housing when the component latch is rotated about the pivot axis. The biasing finger engages the component latch at a contact area that is generally between the pivot axis and the operative end when the component latch rotates from the closed position toward the open position. The biasing finger provides a biasing force at the contact area for rotating the component latch toward the closed position.
