Abstract

The invention relates to a connector assembly with a sealed symmetrical split lever. The invention provides a connector assembly. A connector assembly comprises a connector housing adapted to engage with a corresponding counter connector housing; a lever comprising a first lever arm and a second lever arm is pivotably and sealingly mounted to the connector housing; each of the pair of lever arms comprises interlocking means for connecting the two lever arms; and the interlocking means of each lever arm are configured to define complementary symmetrical surfaces that interlock with one another when the lever arms are pivotably mounted to the connector housing. On mounting the lever arms to the connector housing, the lever is configured to move about the connector housing between an open state and a closed state to secure the counter connector housing to the connector housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to a connector assembly, and in particular, to a connector assembly for automotive applications including a pivotable lever to assist a connector housing with a corresponding mating connector housing cooperation. Background technique [0002] Modern vehicles include many devices distributed throughout the vehicle. Electrical connectors, such as door body connectors, may be used to connect electrical components arranged in the vehicle doors, such as door locks, door airbags, etc., to corresponding control electronics. In general, connectors disposed at the junction between the vehicle's body and doors have stringent environmental requirements. In particular, due to the increasing complexity and importance of electronic devices that must be connected throughout the mentioned joints, there is a need to provide reliable waterproof and dustproof connector assemblies, especially for more reliable waterproof and Du...
