Problems solved by technology

This makes the precise design of such a lever that provides the mechanical advantage needed to interface large connector assemblies very difficult
Additionally, the variable engagement of the curved cam force transfer surfaces creates ineffective transfer of force between the surfaces

Embodiment Construction

[0046] Referring to the attached drawings for more detail, first figure 1 and figure 2 A lever-type electrical connector assembly 10 is shown including a first connector or housing 12 and a second connector or head 14 . Each connector 12 and 14 includes a plurality of electrical contacts (not shown) received therein. Preferably, the assembly 10 includes more than 90 electrical contacts and is at least 70mm wide, 60mm long and 60mm high when assembled. In a preferred embodiment, the connector 10 may include 98 electrical contacts and is configured as a harness connector for a diesel engine; however, other uses, sizes and configurations of the connector 10 are also possible of.

[0047] Connectors of this size and configuration typically require more than about 300 N of force to overcome friction and engagement forces in order to interface or disengage the header 14 and housing 12 . Therefore, the connector 10 further includes a first, pre-mating or release position ( fig...

Abstract

A lever-type electrical connector assembly is provided that includes first and second electrical connectors having an actuating lever movably mounted thereon for movement between a release position with the connectors un mated and a lock position with the connectors mated. In one form, a blocking member is provided between the first connector and the actuating lever for holding the actuating lever in the release position. A second connector includes a release member for shifting the blocking member to allow the actuating lever to move from the release position to the lock position. In anotherform, the electrical connector assembly is configured to precisely maximize the mechanical advantage provided by the actuating lever by including a predetermined force transmitting engagement portionat which the lever actuator engages one of the connectors to transmit a concentrated, predetermined leveraged output force thereto upon pivoting of the lever from the release to the lock position.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 811,943, filed June 8, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to electrical connector assemblies and, more particularly, to an electrical connector assembly that includes electrical connections for mating and disconnecting electrical connectors by operating a lever actuator of one of the connectors device. Background technique [0004] A typical lever-type electrical connector includes an assembly of a first connector (or housing) and a second connector (or head). In order to make the two connectors butt together, the assembly has a transmission lever or auxiliary lever, which is mounted to pivot on the first connector by means of pivoting of the lever, causing the first and second connectors to Convert between undocked and fully docked structures. To this e...
