A power distribution assembly including a seating tray and a device coupled to the seating tray and at least partially fixed relative to the seating tray. The device defines a first channel and a second channel. The device has a mechanical advantage system in communication with the first and second channels. The power distribution assembly includes a housing selectively coupled to the seating tray and an extension affixed to the housing and movably disposed in the second channel of the device. The extension engages the mechanical advantage system. A power distribution assembly includes an actuator movably disposed in the first channel of the device. The actuator engages the mechanical advantage system. The actuator is movable in a first direction to actuate the mechanical advantage system and translate movement of the actuator to movement of the extension with the housing moving toward the seating tray during the movement of the extension.

An electrical connector including a housing; electrical contacts connected to the housing; and a mate assist system for assisting in mating the electrical connector to a mating electrical connector. The mate assist system includes a lever pivotably connected to the housing, a slider slidably connected to the housing, and a system for preventing unintentional movement of the lever from an unlocked position. The system for preventing unintentional movement of the lever includes a first latch adapted to be manually actuated by a user and a second latch on the slider adapted to be automatically moved by the mating electrical connector when the housing is initially mounted on the mating electrical connector. Both the first and second latches are moved to enable movement of the lever from the unlocked position.

An electrical receptacle terminal comprising a frame, and a leaf spring. The frame has a receptacle section for a male terminal. The receptacle section has a general shell configuration with one side of the shell having a seam therein. The seam is located to section the side of the receptacle section into two cantilevered side sections with each side section being cantilevered from an opposite wall of the receptacle section parallel to the seam. The leaf spring is movably captured within the receptacle. The leaf spring is biased against the shell of the receptacle section with opposite ends of the leaf spring contacting the side of the shell. The leaf spring has two pairs of support surfaces. One pair of the support surfaces is located at each of the opposite ends of the leaf spring. One support surface of each pair of support surfaces contacts a corresponding one of the cantilevered side sections adjacent the wall of the receptacle section from which the side section cantilevers so that when the male terminal is inserted into the receptacle section, the leaf spring is urged against the shell without substantially spreading the seam.
