The assembly includes a cam projection ( A) provided to one of the internal and external connector housings.

The lever defines a cam channel ( ) for guiding the cam projection therein to mate the internal and external connector housings with each other. The assembly includes a false-assembly preventing structure ( Ba, Bb S , S ) operative to prevent false-assembly of the internal and external connector housings at an initial mating. The lever is rotatable to push the cam projection to space the internal and external connector housings off.
