Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting insulation-clad ribbon cable to a circuit member. The connector assembly includes a female connector, which is connected to the ribbon cable, and a male connector or header, which is connected to said circuit member, and is adapted to mate with the female connector. Selectively removeable strain relief means are provided as part of the female connector. The male connector has a pair of improved, pivotly mounted manually manipulatable lever means for selectively ejecting or locking the female connector with the male connector. The lever means can positively lock and mate the female connector to the male connector whether or not the strain relief means is mounted on the female connector.
