Embodiment Construction

[0034] Referring to the drawings in detail, and first to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the present invention is embodied in a lever-type electrical connector assembly, generally designated 20 . The assembly includes a first (“actuator”) connector, generally designated 22 , and a second (“mating”) connector, generally designated 24 . As explained hereinafter, Figure 1 shows the connector alone; Figure 3 shows the pre-mated or initial position; Figure 4 shows the intermediate (interference) state; Figure 5 shows the fully mated position.

[0035] The mating connector 24 (FIGS. 1 and 2) is an end connector that may be mounted, for example, on an electronic module rack or frame located in an automobile. Therefore, the connector assembly is suitable for use in environments with high vibration and shock, although it can also be used in other situations. In practice, this assembly has been used directly on the motor frame of a vehicle, where vibrations and shocks are severe.

Abstract

A lever type electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a mating assist lever pivotally movably mounted on the first connector. A slide member is linearly movably mounted on the first connector. A coupling joint is provided between the mating assist lever and the slide member, whereby pivotal movement of the lever relative to the first connector effects linear movement of the slide member relative to the first connector. The coupling joint includes an open-sided cam groove in one of the lever or slide member receiving a cam follower post on the other of the lever or slide member. The cam groove and cam follower post are configured to prevent the post from pulling out of the open side of the groove. A second connector is provided, with a coupling between the slide member and the second connector for mating and unmating the connectors in response to rotation of the mating assist lever and resulting translation of the slide member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of electrical connectors, and in particular to an electrical connector having a lever and a pair of sliding elements, whereby mating and disconnection of the connector with a second connector is accomplished by rotation of the lever and translation of the sliding element. open. Background technique [0002] A typical lever-type electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having an actuation or mating assist lever rotatably mounted thereon for connecting and disconnecting the connector with a mating-assisted second connector. Open the connection. The actuating lever and the second connector collectively have a cam groove / cam follower arrangement for bringing the second connector into mating position with the first connector as the lever is rotated. [0003] The general structure of a lever-type electrical connector of the character described above provides a generally U-shaped lever str...
