Problems solved by technology

[0007] Plug connectors with lever-slider arrangements of the type described above are functionally very effective, but there is still room for further improvement
[0008] In particular, although the lever-slider arrangement reduces the work required to connect the connectors, and thus the corresponding terminals, it still requires some work on the part of the user.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 designates as a whole an electrical connection unit having a large number of pin contacts, which are used in particular to connect an electronic central control unit (not shown) to the electrical system of a vehicle (not shown) (not shown).

[0017] The unit 1 comprises a first plug connector 2 and a second socket connector 3 mutually connectable along direction A. As shown in FIG.

[0018] The connector 2 according to the invention ( FIGS. 1 to 4 ) comprises an insulating housing 4 made of plastic material, which defines a plurality of cavities 5 with axes parallel to the direction A, which cavities accommodate A corresponding female electrical terminal (not shown) is held inside the cavity 5 and connected to a corresponding electrical cable (not shown) in a known manner.

[0019] The housing 4 comprises a hollow, substantially parallelepiped-shaped body 6 defining an end opening 7 into which the connector 3 is inserted and accommodating ...

Abstract

An electric connector has an insulating casing defining a number of cavities for housing respective electric terminals and having axes parallel to a first direction (A) in which the connector is connected to a complementary connector; a slide fitted to the casing to slide in a second direction (B) perpendicular to the first direction (A), and having camtype first constraint means for receiving second constraint means on said complementary connector to produce a relative coupling movement between the connectors in the first direction (A) when the slide translates in the second direction (B); and an operating lever rotating about an axis (C) perpendicular to the first and second direction (A, B), and activated selectively to translate the slide in the second direction (B); the lever is hinged to the slide at the aforementioned axis (C), and actuating means are provided to move the axis (C) and the slide in the second direction (B) when the lever is operated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and in particular but not exclusively to an automotive electrical plug connector connectable to a complementary electrical receptacle connector to form, for example, a vehicle electrical system with electronic An electrical connection unit with a large number of pin contacts to which central control units are connected together. Background technique [0002] Connection units of the above-mentioned kind are known, in which the connector comprises a corresponding insulating housing defining a corresponding number of cavities for accommodating, respectively, male and female electrical terminals connectable to each other. [0003] Such connection units typically include a lever-slider arrangement that provides connection to the connectors with a minimum amount of work when the plug and socket connectors are brought together. [0004] The operating lever-slider device mainly includes: a slider fitte...
