Abstract

A lever-type electrical connector assembly (10) is provided that includes first (12) and second (14) electrical connectors having an actuating lever (16) movably mounted thereon for movement between a release position with the connectors un-mated and a lock position with the connectors mated. In one form, a blocking member (26) is provided between the first connector and the actuating lever for holding the actuating lever in the release position. A second connector includes a release member (28) for shifting the blocking member to allow the actuating lever to move from the release position to the lock position. In another form, the electrical connector assembly is configured to precisely maximize the mechanical advantage provided by the actuating lever by including a predetermined force transmitting engagement portion at which the lever actuator engages one of the connectors to transmit a concentrated, predetermined leveraged output force thereto upon pivoting of the lever from the release to the lock position.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 29 April 2008 (29.04.08)
1. An electrical connector assembly comprising: first and second electrical connectors including respective first and second connector housings for being mated together; an actuating lever mounted to the first electrical connector for being shifted to mate the connectors together, the actuating lever having a predetermined first position with the connectors unmated and a predetermined second position with the connectors fully mated; a cam projection of the actuating lever; a cam groove of the second connector with the cam projection and groove configured to engage so that shifting of the actuating lever from the first position to the second position causes the connectors to fully mate with each other; a blocking portion formed on the first connector housing and extending into the first connector housing in interference with the cam projection for releasable retaining the actuating lever in the first position; and a release portion formed on the second connector housing operable to shift the blocking portion outwardly to a clearance position to allow the actuating lever to be shifted from the first position to the second position with the cam projection received in the cam groove.
2. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 wherein the blocking portion and the release portion include cooperating cam surfaces that cammingly engage each other for shifting of the blocking portion.
3. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 wherein the blocking portion comprises a thin wall portion of the first connector,
4. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 wherein, the blocking portion comprises a resilient portion of the first connector.
5. The electrical connector assembly of claim 1 wherein said, blocking portion is adjacent the cam projection on an inner surface of the first connector housing and the release portion is adjacent the cam groove on an outer surface of the second connector housing.
