  • Connector provided with a wire cover and a connector assembly
    Patent number: 6755674
    Abstract: A connector has first and second housings (10, 20) and a wire cover (30) is mounted to cover the upper surface of the second housing (20). A lever (40) is supported rotatably on the second housing (20) and has cam grooves that engage follower pins (15) on the first housing (10). The two housings (10, 20) are connected by rotating the lever (40) to an end position. During this time, arms (41) of the lever (40) constantly press parts of the wire cover (30) to prevent the wire cover (30) from widening sufficiently to disengage the wire cover (30) from the female housing (20).
