Abstract
A connector assembly has a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a first connector housing. A lever is rotatably mounted relative to the first connector housing. The lever has lever arms with projections provided at free ends of the lever arms, The second connector has a second connector housing. A lever receiving recess with at least one latching projection is provided in the second connector housing. The at least one latching projection is configured to cooperate with the projections of the first connector housing. The lever is rotatable between a pre-insertion position and an insertion position. The cooperation of the lever with the lever receiving recess prevents the premature mating of the first connector housing to the second connector housing as the lever is moved between the pre-insertion position and the insertion position.
