Lever-type electrical connector

摘要

A lever-type electrical connector has first and second connector housings adapted to be detachably fitted together in a connected position by relative movement in a fitting direction. A lever is rotatably mounted for drawing the connector housings towards said connected position. Locking means are provided on the connector housings for locking them together in the connected position. Springs act operatively between the connector housings to be compressed when the connector housings are being moved towards the connected position, thereby to create a force urging the connector housings in their separation direction at least during the movement of the connector housings towards the connected position. This reduces the risk of incomplete fitting together of the housings.
