  • Patent number: 7568925
    Abstract: An electric connector has an insulating casing defining a number of cavities for housing respective electric terminals and having axes parallel to a first direction (A) in which the connector is connected to a complementary connector; a slide fitted to the casing to slide in a second direction (B) perpendicular to the first direction (A), and having camtype first constraint means for receiving second constraint means on said complementary connector to produce a relative coupling movement between the connectors in the first direction (A) when the slide translates in the second direction (B); and an operating lever rotating about an axis (C) perpendicular to the first and second direction (A, B), and activated selectively to translate the slide in the second direction (B); the lever is hinged to the slide at the aforementioned axis (C), and actuating means are provided to move the axis (C) and the slide in the second direction (B) when the lever is operated.
