  • Electrical connector and electrical connector assembly having lever assist with latch hold down mechanism
    Publication number: 20060205254
    Abstract: A connection system is shown where a lever-assist member may be added to assist in the mating between two connector housings as is needed depending upon a number of connector terminals loaded and the mating force between them. The lever-assist member is also locked in place by the interaction of the pivot-assist member and the corresponding latching structure of the connectors. The lever-assist member, when moved into the disconnection condition, has a projection which holds the cantilever beam arm of the latch in a position allowing the two connectors to be disconnected, which does not require the user to continue depressing the latch at the same time as rotating the pivot-assist member.
    Type: Application
