It is aimed to provide a connector capable of suppressing opening deformation of an operating member and avoiding enlargement. A U-shaped operating member (11) is arranged to straddle a housing (10) and is linearly movable from an initial position to a connection position while arms (37) slide on the housing (10) and proceeds with a connecting operation of the housing (10) and a mating housing (12) by cam engagement of the arms (37) with the mating housing (12) during a movement. The housing (10) includes support shafts (18) and the arms (37) include linearly extending long grooves (39) into which the support shafts (18) are inserted to be slidable in contact therewith. The support shaft (18) includes jaws (19) and the long groove (39) includes an engaging edge (44) configured to contact the jaws (19) in an opening direction of the arm (37).

A plug connector includes a plug housing having an outer wall forming a cavity. A portion of the plug connector is configured to be plugged into a header chamber of a header connector to mate plug contacts with corresponding header contacts. The plug connector includes an actuator coupled to the plug housing movable between an open position and a closed position. The actuator is configured to engage the header connector to provide mechanical mating assist of the plug connector with the header connector as the actuator is moved from the open position to the closed position. An eCPA assembly includes a shorting terminal operably coupled to the actuator and movable by the actuator between a mated position and an unmated position configured to be coupled to a first fixed terminal and a second fixed terminal to forms a position assurance circuit.
