Abstract
An electrical connector includes a first housing with two axle posts. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing and includes two travel pegs. A lever includes two lever arms that are joined by a handle and each of the lever arms has an axle opening with one of the axle posts located therein. The lever is mounted on the first housing for relative rotational movement about a lever axis from a pre-stage position to a final position. The lever engages the travel pegs to move the second housing linearly in an insertion direction from a pre-stage position to a seated position relative to the first housing. Flanges extend from the axle posts generally perpendicular to the lever axis and opposite the insertion direction. The lever arms are located between the first housing and the respective flange when the lever is moved away from the pre-stage position.
