Abstract
A connector assembly includes a first plug connector housing in which a first plug contact is arranged, a second plug connector housing, and a seal. The second connector housing includes a protective enclosure, a contact carrier insert in which a second plug contact is fixedly arranged, and a lever. The protective enclosure and the contact carrier insert are movable relative to one another. While the contact carrier insert is connected to the first connector housing with the first and second plug contacts being joined together the protective enclosure moves relative to the contact carrier insert in a direction toward the first connector housing during an actuation of the force-amplifying means to compress the seal between the protective enclosure, the contact carrier insert, and the first connector housing.
