Latch assembly for latching two mating connectors. The latch assembly includes a main body and a resilient latch finger extending from the main body. The latch finger includes a locking section, such as a locking cam. A release member, e.g., a slider, is moveable between a locking position and a release position. The release member a pressure surface profiled to flex the latch finger away when the release member is moved to the release position. The pressure surface is positioned between the locking section and the connected end of the latch finger, when the release member is in the locking position. The main body can, e.g., include a surface with a sunk section, the latch finger forming an extension of the sunk section, while the release member is a slider slideable in the sunk section.
