Abstract
A connector assembly can include a bracket, a first connector and a second connector. The bracket can have a base adapted to be mounted in a fixed position and include a wall extending at a right angle from a plane of the base. The wall can have two curved, side-by-side grooves and an axis raised above the plane of the base. The first and second connectors can each have a housing for accommodating electrical terminals. One housing can include two posts located alongside each other for receipt in the grooves of the bracket such that the first connector is guided in a stable, curved sliding movement along the grooves. The second connector can include a channel for receiving and being acted upon by the axis of the bracket to draw the connectors further together and the terminals of the connectors into electrical engagement to a final position.
