Abstract
An electrical connector having a connector housing and a lever. The connector housing has a first wall, a second wall and side walls which extend between the first wall and the second wall. Multiple contacts are positioned in contact receiving cavities of the housing. The multiple contacts have wires which extend therefrom. A lever is rotatably mounted relative to the connector housing. The lever has lever arms and a lever handle. The lever arms extend from the side walls of the housing and the lever handle extends between the lever arms. A wire guide is positioned on the lever. The lever is rotatable between a pre-insertion position and an insertion position. When the lever is in the insertion position, the wire guide engages the wires which extend from the housing to direct the wires to a designated position.
