Abstract: A panel-mountable header connector includes conductors and a housing. The housing holds the conductors in a cavity of the housing. The housing has a front end and a rear end. The housing has a latch set and a stop feature which define a panel mounting zone therebetween. The panel mounting zone is configured to align with an opening in a panel when the housing is mounted to the panel. The latch set is configured to engage a front side of the panel, and the stop feature is configured to engage a rear side of the panel to retain the panel in the panel mounting zone. At least one of the latch set or the stop feature is stepped such that a width of the panel mounting zone is variable to accommodate the panel having one of multiple thicknesses.

Abstract: A connector system includes a cavity configured to hold a connector module. The cartridge has a port opening to the cavity. The cartridge removably receives the connector module through the port. The connector system also includes an ejector mechanism. The ejector mechanism has a slider latch movable in a longitudinal direction relative to the cartridge. The slider latch has a profiled groove configured to cam therein. The slider latch has a linear gear. The ejector mechanism includes a rotatable handle having a circular gear configured to engage the linear gear to cause the slider latch to move as the rotatable handle is rotated between a closed position and an open position. The profiled groove engages the cam to secure the connector module to the connector assembly when the rotatable handle is in the closed position and unlock the connector module when in the open position.
