摘要： A latch apparatus which prevents connectors from separating from each other is provided by means of a simplified configuration as compared to conventional latch springs. A curled latch spring has knuckles or bent portions that fit into grooves to secure connectors. A coiled latch spring has coil portions that fit into grooves in the plate of a mating connector. When the latch spring is turned around a spring leg holder, three-dimensional knuckle portions of the latch spring contact and engage a spring holder to hold the latch spring by the spring holder. A first connector on the computer side and a second connector on the cable side are connected and fastened only by the latch spring. Consequently, the first and second connectors can be easily and surely engaged and fastened only by the latch spring.
