<p>Disclosed is an electrical connector equipped with a cam mechanism (3) to permit the mating of the connector plug (1) with the connector receptacle (2) with a reduced force. The cam mechanism (3) is capable of converting displacement of a slidable cover (26) of the connector receptacle to the mating of the plug terminals (12) of the connector plug (1) with the receptacle terminals (2) of the receptacle connector (2). The cam mechanism (3) is composed of at least one guide pin (5) and a guide slot (6). The guide pin is located on the connector plug whereas the slot is located in the slidable cover of the connector receptacle. The guide slot is shaped such that the movement of the cover on the receptacle connector causes the continuing of insertion of the mating section of the connector receptacle in the mating space (13) of the connector plug until the complete mating of plug and receptacle terminals has been achieved.</p> |
