Abstract
A low insertion-withdrawal force electric connector is disclosed wherein a pin is mounted on one side wall of a male housing; a groove into and out of which said pin is movable is provided in a hood of a female housing; a cam lever is pivotally mounted on said hood; and the cam lever has at its front end an eccentric cam groove which is engageable with the pin so as to cause said two housings to be fitted and disengaged relative to each other in response to the pivotal movement of said lever. A fitting-side acting surface of the eccentric cam groove against the pin is disposed generally perpendicular to the direction of advance of said pin when the two housings are completely fitted together.
