Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 A non-limiting example of a connector 10 is shown that includes a first housing 12 defining a guide slot 14 . The first housing 12 may have a plurality of electrical terminals 16 (not shown) attached to a wiring harness (not shown) that is part of a cable or other electrical component. The first housing 12 may also include wire seals and strain relief for the wires (not shown).

[0029] The connector 10 also includes a second housing 18 configured to mate with the first housing 12 . The second housing 18 may also have a plurality of corresponding mating electrical terminals 19 configured to mate with the electrical terminals 16 of the first housing 12 and to be attached to the wiring harness, said A harness is part of a cable or other electrical component (not shown). The second housing 18 may also include wire seals and strain relief for the wires, as well as a perimeter seal (not shown) for sealing with the first housing 12 . The second housing 18 include...

Abstract

A connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, a shroud, and a stacked-gear. The stacked-gear is moveably mounted to the first-housing. The stacked-gear engages a first-gear-rack on the second-housing and a second-gear-rack on the shroud. The second-housing is mated with the first-housing when the shroud is moved along a mating-axis of the connector. The stacked-gear engages at least twoteeth on the first-gear-rack and on the second-gear-rack when the second-housing is mated with the first-housing. A rotation of the stacked-gear is greater than ninety degrees when the shroud is movedfrom an unmated-position to a mated-position). The stacked-gear initially engages a first-side of a first-tooth of the first-gear-rack when the first-housing receives the second-housing. A uniform mating-force is maintained as the shroud is moved from an unmated-position to a mated-position. A mechanical advantage to produce the mating-force is increased as the shroud is moved from an unmated-position to a mated-position.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 612,059, filed June 2, 2017, now U.S. Patent No. 9,917,402, and U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 867,358, filed January 10, 2018, which The entire disclosure of each of the patent documents is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to connectors, and more particularly to electrical connector assemblies with mating aids. Background technique [0004] The use of mating assist features on electrical connectors used in automotive applications is known, especially where a greater number of input / output (I / O) connections per system are required due to increased electrical content on the vehicle middle. Connectors utilizing integral lever mechanisms typically require pre-positioning of the connector prior to closing the lever assist mechanism. This multi-step mating process is cumbersome to the a...
