CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector assembly which can apply a press tool axially. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a connector assembly (102) comprising a connector unit (105) mounted in a housing (103). The connector unit (105) has a mounting portion (113), at least one electrical terminal (117) and a body portion (115) having a locking tab (121). The housing has a first longitudinal axis (X1) and the body portion has a second longitudinal axis (X2). The first longitudinal axis (X1) and the second longitudinal axis (X2) are offset from each other to enable the tip of the locking tab (121) to be radially inset. An axial press tool (125) can be used to mount the connector unit (5) mechanically in the housing (3). The present invention also relates to a method of assembling a connector assembly (102).
