  • Patent number: 7384284
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a multiconductor plug strip and a multiconductor socket strip fittable complementarily and transversely with the plug strip. A pivot seat on one of the strips defines a pivot axis, and a lever formed with a pivot is fittable with the seat and pivotal on the one strip about the axis. An actuating formation on the lever offset from the axis and another actuating formation on the other strip are engageable with each other when the other strip is at least partially fitted to the one strip to disengage and engage the strips with each other.
