Abstract
An electrical connector assembly is provided for electrically connecting first and second connectors. The first connector includes at least one pivotally mounted lever movable between a mating position for the connectors and an eject position for selectively ejecting the second connector from the first connector. The lever includes an eject portion underlying and engageable with the underside of the second connector. The eject portion is elongated and tapered away from the underside of the second connector in a direction away from the pivot point of the lever whereby a greater moment arm is provided upon initial engagement of the eject portion with the underside of the second connector, and the moment arm decreases as the lever pivots toward its eject position.
