Abstract
A connector assembly is provided that includes first and second mating connector housings. A lever is attached to the first connector housing to facilitate sliding engagement between the housings. The second housing and the lever include respective cam projections that mate in an alignment mode of operation thereby permitting the lever to be pivoted to bring the housings together. When the housings are not properly aligned, respective cam projections engage each other to prevent pivoting of the lever.
