An actuator device includes a locking displaceable element and a manual operation element that are displaceably disposed in a fixed portion. The locking displaceable element is displaceable to locked/unlocked positions. The manual operation element engages with the locking displaceable element and displaces the locking displaceable element to lock/unlocked positions via manual operation. The fixed portion includes locking displaceable element stoppers and manual operation element stoppers. The locking displaceable element includes locking displaceable element stopper abutment surfaces. The manual operation element includes manual operation element stopper abutment surfaces. When the manual operation element is operated, the manual operation element stopper abutment surfaces abut against the manual operation element stoppers by to stop displacement of the manual operation element before the locking displaceable element stopper abutment surfaces abutting against the locking displaceable element stoppers.

The application relates to a connector housing, a connector housing assembly and a connector assembly. The connector housing has a housing body and a shroud. The housing body encloses an accommodating cavity. The shroud is disposed around and connected to the housing body. A gap is formed between the shroud and the housing body to form a slot. The connector housing is further provided with one of a lug or a sliding groove. The lug or the sliding groove is positioned in the slot. According to the connector housing assembly and the connector assembly in the application, the lugs are matched with the sliding grooves to guide the first connector housing and the second connector housing during plug-in connection, so as to avoid failure of installation in place due to relative deflection of them.

A connector includes a second housing fittable with a first housing, a slide member movable relative to the first housing along a connector fitting direction, a transmission gear member rotatably supported by a support shaft provided on the first housing, a first rack gear portion provided on the slide member along the connector fitting direction, a driven gear portion of the transmission gear member rotated by movement of the first rack gear portion in the connector fitting direction, a main drive gear portion of the transmission gear member provided on a side opposite to the driven gear portion with the support shaft interposed therebetween, and a second rack gear portion provided on the second housing along the connector fitting direction, and movable relative to the first housing along the connector fitting direction by rotation of the main drive gear portion.

The invention relates to a connector with a lever for assistance with the connection. Means for locking the lever are fitted such as to slide on the lever, between three positions, i.e. a locking position in which the means for locking the lever block the lever in its closed position, an unlocking position in which the means for locking the lever free the lever in order to allow the lever to rotate to its open position, and a delivery position, which is distinct from the locking and unlocking positions, in which the lever can be in a closed position without being blocked by the locking means. In the delivery position, the locking means are not constrained.

A plug connection for electrically and mechanically coupling a pair of electrical conductors includes a coupling having a coupling housing and a lever with a locking element, a pin strip having a pin strip housing with a recess receiving the locking element, and a projection arranged between the lever and the pin strip housing. The lever is rotatably mounted at the coupling housing orthogonally to a plug-in direction. The coupling housing is arranged at least in sections on the pin strip housing in a form-fitting manner and the locking element is arranged adjacent to the recess in a pre-locking position of the lever. The locking element is brought into an operative connection with the recess by rotation of the lever. When a plugging force is applied onto the coupling housing, the projection generates a counter force on the lever against the plugging force.

An electrical connector-assembly includes a first-housing and a second-housing. The first-housing has first-walls that include opposed gear-racks extending beyond an outer-surface. The opposed gear-racks are configured to engage a mate-assist device. The first-walls include opposed locking-fins extending beyond the outer-surface. The opposed locking-fins have first-fins and second-fins. The second-housing includes the mate-assist device which is moveable from an unlocked-position to a locked-position and is pivotable about the lateral-axis. The mate-assist device has gear-teeth configured to engage the opposed gear-racks of the first-housing. The second-housing has a skirt configured to slideably engage the outer-surface of the first-housing. The skirt includes flex-locks configured to engage the first-fins and retain the second-housing in a prestage-position. When the mate-assist device is moved from the unlocked-position to the locked-position, the second-housing is moved from the prestage-position to a seated-position, whereby the flex-locks engage the second-fins, thereby inhibiting a movement between the second-housing and the first-housing.

A connector includes a second housing fittable with a first housing, a slide member movable relative to the first housing along a connector fitting direction, a transmission gear member rotatably supported by a support shaft provided on the first housing, a first rack gear portion provided on the slide member along the connector fitting direction, a driven gear portion of the transmission gear member rotated by movement of the first rack gear portion in the connector fitting direction, a main drive gear portion of the transmission gear member provided on a side opposite to the driven gear portion with the support shaft interposed therebetween, and a second rack gear portion provided on the second housing along the connector fitting direction, and movable relative to the first housing along the connector fitting direction by rotation of the main drive gear portion.

A connector comprises a wire cover and a lever pivotally attached to the wire cover. The wire cover has a cover lock and a cover biasing member. The lever is rotatable between an unmated position and a mated position. When the lever is in the mated position, the cover lock locks the lever in the mated position and the cover biasing member biases the lever toward the unmated position.

An electrical connector includes a connector housing and a U-shaped lever, comprising a crossbar and two sidebars extending from the ends of the crossbar. A pair of first gear wheel elements. Each one of the first gear wheel elements is integrally formed at respective ends of the sidebars and are rotatable around a pair of first rotation pins extends to the outside from opposing outer side walls of the connector housing. The first gear wheel elements each comprise a first set of gear teeth for meshing with a teethed rack of a counter electrical connector. The first gear wheel elements each comprise a second set of gear teeth for meshing with second gear wheel elements.
