An electrical connector having a connector housing and a lever. The connector housing has a first wall, a second wall and side walls which extend between the first wall and the second wall. Multiple contacts are positioned in contact receiving cavities of the housing. The multiple contacts have wires which extend therefrom. A lever is rotatably mounted relative to the connector housing. The lever has lever arms and a lever handle. The lever arms extend from the side walls of the housing and the lever handle extends between the lever arms. A wire guide is positioned on the lever. The lever is rotatable between a pre-insertion position and an insertion position. When the lever is in the insertion position, the wire guide engages the wires which extend from the housing to direct the wires to a designated position.

A connector includes a connector housing 10 provided with cavities 13 for accommodating terminal fittings and connectable to a mating connector, a cover 50 configured to cover wires pulled out from the connector housing 10 by being mounted on a cover mounting surface 10A side of the connector housing 10 opposite to a connection surface, locking pieces 55 deflectably provided on both side surfaces of the cover 50 and configured to lock the cover 50 to the connector housing 10 by projecting toward the connector housing 10, and protection walls 37 provided on the connector housing 10, the other locking piece 55 coming into contact with the protection wall 37 when being pushed in an unlocking direction when one of the locking pieces 55 is unlocked and the cover 50 is inclined with respect to the connector housing 10.

A connector having a housing, a slide member, and an operation lever. The slide member slides in response to operation of the operation lever. The slide member has a guide projection and slides while the guide projection is guided in a guide groove of the housing. The slide member has a cam groove that receives a cam pin in a second connector and the slide member, by sliding, performs mating with the second connector. The slide member has a first nipping portion that nips the cam pin when it slides to a completely mated position. The housing has a second nipping portion that nips the guide projection of the slide member when the slide member slides to the completely mated position.

The present disclosure provides a connector assembly. The connector assembly includes a connector housing adapted to engage with a corresponding counter-connector housing. A lever including a first lever arm and a second lever arm is pivotably and sealingly mounted to the connector housing. Each lever arm includes interlocking means for connecting the first lever arm to the second lever arm at a first location. The interlocking means of each of the first lever arm and the second lever arm are configured to define complementary symmetrical surfaces that interlock with one another when the lever arms are pivotably mounted to the connector housing. On mounting the lever arms to the connector housing, the lever is configured to move about the connector housing between an open state and a closed state to secure the counter-connector housing to the connector housing.

A connector includes a first housing, a second housing, a mate assist slider, and a cam gear. The first-housing has a first outer surface. The second housing is configured to mate with the first housing, and the second housing includes a pin extending from a second outer surface. The connector also includes a mate assist slider moveable from an unmated position to a mated position. The connector also includes a cam gear mounted to the first outer surface. The cam gear moves in response to a movement of the mate-assist-slider from the unmated position to the mated position. The cam gear has a cam slot with an inertial detent. A vibratory feedback is provided to an assembler indicative of a properly positioned connector housing when the pin is moved past the inertial detent.

A plug connector for plugging onto or into a counterpart plug connector, having at least two counterpart contact elements, in a plugging direction. The plug connector has a housing having a first plane that faces in the plugging direction. The housing has at least two contact chambers, each of which has an opening in the first plane. At least two of the contact chambers in the housing are embodied separately from one another. A wall, which protrudes from the first plane when viewed oppositely from the plugging direction, is disposed between at least two mutually adjacent contact chambers. Alternatively or additionally, at least one groove is disposed in the first plane between at least two mutually adjacent contact chambers.

A lever-type connector includes a housing having support holes; a fitting part provided inside the housing and fitted in a counterpart connector; a lever that includes a pair of plate-like portions facing each other in an opposed manner, a connection portion connecting the pair of plate-like portions with each other, and projection portions provided respective outside surfaces of the pair of plate-like portions, the lever being rotatably supported by the housing while the projection portions are engaged with the support holes; and sliding members each includes a guide portion that is slidably supported by the housing and engaged with a part to be guided provided to the counterpart connector, the sliding members being slid depending on a rotation of the lever to depress the part to be guided by way of the guide portion and fit the counterpart connector in the fitting part.

A first connector and a second connector of this connector assembly can mutually connect along the vertical direction. The first connector comprises a first housing provided with a sliding surface, a locking surface, and a receiving surface. The locking surface intersects, at an angle of 90° or less, with a line segment extending straight upward from the locking surface. The second connector comprises a second housing provided with a spring section and a locked section. The locked section can move forward and backward as the spring section elastically deforms. The locked section has a locked surface. When the second connector is in a separated state of being separated from the first connector, the locked surface intersects, at an angle of 90° or less, with a line segment extending straight upward from the locked surface. In a fitting step, the locked section moves downward while being pressed against the sliding surface. The locked section abuts the receiving surface upon moving downward on the sliding surface.

The invention relates to a coupling device for simultaneously coupling and decoupling a number of coupling pairs, which coupling device includes:—a number of coupling pairs, each having a first coupling part and a second coupling part;—a first mounting frame on which the first coupling parts of the number of coupling pairs are arranged;—a second mounting frame arranged parallel to the first mounting frame, wherein the second coupling parts of the number of coupling pairs are arranged to the second mounting frame, and wherein the second mounting frame is movable towards to and away from the first mounting frame between a connected position, in which each first coupling part is connected with the corresponding second coupling part, and a disconnected position;—guiding mechanism arranged to the first mounting frame and the second mounting frame for guiding the movement between the connected and disconnected position;—at least one rack and pinion drive arranged between the first and second mounting frame, wherein the pinion is arranged on a shaft rotatable arranged in the first mounting frame and wherein the rack extends from the second mounting frame in the direction of movement of said second mounting frame into the first mounting frame along the pinion; wherein the shaft extends with at least one end out of the first mounting frame and wherein an operating lever is arranged on the shaft.
