Abstract
An electrical connector assembly comprises a pin header connector and a socket connector for mating with the pin header connector. The pin header connector has a housing provided with a pair of opposed racks, the socket connector being provided with a pair of opposed levers each having a pinion. The levers can be swung by means of ganged handles to drive the socket connector into, and out of, mated relationship with the pin header connector. In the interest of simplifying the moulding of the pin header connector housing and of reducing its width, each rack projects above the upper edge of the pin header connector housing in substantially coplanar relationship with the respective side wall of that housing, the teeth of each rack overhanging the respective side wall.
