A one-handed connector apparatus includes a male portion that is receivable in a female portion. The male portion includes a plurality of protuberances that extend from a base and that are receivable in a receptacle formed in the female portion. A compressive force applied to an outboard one of the protuberances deflects the outboard protuberance toward an inboard protuberance and causes the outboard and inboard protuberances to together be elastically deflected from a first position to a second position. In the first position, a set of first latching structures situated on the protuberances are in an interference position with a set of corresponding second latching structures that are situated on the female portion. In the second position, the first latching structures are moved out of the interference position, thereby permitting the male portion to be removed from the female portion.
